Pricking the Vessels Bloodletting Therapy
By Henry McCann
Bloodletting therapy,
which works to remove internal and external disruptions to the system through
the withdrawal of small quantities of blood, has numerous benefits, especially
concerning the treatment of complex or chronic diseases. In
this first text on bloodletting therapy for Western practitioners of Chinese
medicine, Henry McCann explores the history, theory, and function of
bloodletting, and provides detailed instruction on its clinical use. He
clarifies the fundamental Chinese medical theory related to blood and the
network vessels and includes a chapter on the classical acupuncture techniques
of Tung Ching Chang. Through the exploration of classic texts and contemporary
standards, McCann provides everything needed to gain a comprehensive
understanding of the techniques and to encourage its use as a safe and
effective treatment option.
The book is available from Redwing Books.
