What tool is good for bloodletting?

There are many pricking tools in TCM, such as triangular needle, plum blossom needle, fire needle, floating needle and needle knife, but triangular needle pricking blood has more advantages than other pricking blood. After years of practice, we have summarized the use and popularization of triangular needle: the needle body to the needle tip is triangular cone, so it is called triangular needle. And that needle handle is cylindrical. Here are some advantages of triangular needle:

Compared with other pricking needles, the triangular needle has fewer pricking points, and can usually prick 1-2 needles at the focus, which greatly reduces the pain of patients during pricking blood, and reduces the fear of pricking blood compared with other pricking methods.

Compared with other epidermal pricking blood, triangular pricking blood pricks deeper, and at the same time, it can also achieve a larger amount of bleeding and release more blood in the body. If the evil blood is not removed, new blood will not be born! Therefore, the curative effect of triangular pricking collaterals on severe chronic diseases is better than that of superficial pricking collaterals.

Compared with other tools, the pricking method of pricking blood with triangular needle is more a little pricking, a little scattering and a little picking. According to different body parts, adopting the most suitable method is beneficial to reflect the effect of pricking blood treatment.

Safer and more hygienic. At present, triangular needles are disinfected once, which avoids the possibility of cross-infection caused by repeated disinfection of tools.
