Ciluo (Bloodletting Therapy)
Ciluo is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique and a type of bloodletting therapy. It involves lightly pricking the skin at specific acupuncture points or affected areas to release a small amount of blood, aiming to unblock the meridians, promote blood circulation, remove stagnant blood, and regulate the flow of Qi and blood. Ciluo therapy is believed to help alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve local circulation. It is commonly used to treat various conditions caused by blood stasis or Qi stagnation, such as headaches, neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain, rheumatic pain, and hemorrhoids.
Benefits:
- Unblocking Meridians: Ciluo can help to open the body’s meridians, improve Qi and blood circulation, and relieve pain or discomfort caused by blocked meridians.
- Promoting Blood Circulation and Resolving Stasis: By releasing a small amount of blood, it helps to expel stagnant blood from the body, which can significantly relieve pain and swelling associated with blood stasis.
- Anti-inflammatory and Pain Relief: Ciluo stimulates the local skin, providing an anti-inflammatory effect and helping to alleviate inflammation and pain.
- Regulating Qi and Blood: It helps to balance the body’s Qi and blood, thereby enhancing immunity and the body’s self-healing abilities.
