| | Abstract: Bloodletting acupuncture is one of the most classic methods of acupuncture therapy, and is still popularly used to treat acute lumbar sprain in the oriental world. | | | Previously, it has been reported that bloodletting acupuncture to the vein around ipisilateral Bl-40 was superior to massage and physiotherapy for cases of acute lumbar sprain (Zhang et al., 1993). | | | However another method, known as bloodletting acupuncture, which involves the bleeding of an engorged vein by a tri-edged needle, is not well known in the western world (Shanghai College of Traditional Medicine, 1987). |

| | Bloodletting was going out of style by then, but the fact that such an important person was given that treatment indicates it was once a state-of-the-art technique. | | | Though bloodletting is out of vogue -- and none of the researchers is suggesting its revival -- the reasons why it sometimes worked may be clearer. | | | The old practice of bloodletting may have worked, and new research may show us why. |

| | A scientific rationale for bloodletting would put the practice in the growing company of outdated therapies that have shown some medical value -- and in some cases are enjoying a full-bore revival, though not always for their original purposes. | | | But if Rouault is right, bloodletting may be joining the list of cures from the past, including maggots and leeches, proving to be of interest to modern doctors. | | | Hippocrates, ''the father of medicine," first advocated bloodletting in ancient Greece as a method of bringing an unbalanced, diseased person back to equilibrium. |
