China's Acupuncture And Moxibustion Hospital. A doctor treats a patient using the blood-letting treatment. Blood letting is one of the three component parts of traditional Chinese acupunture and moxibustion. It is one of the earliest forms of treatment and was nearly lost in recent generations. This method can relieve pain and inflammation, and can be used for emergency treatment for patients suffering from cerebrovascular accidents and septicopyemia. It is effective for vasculitis as well as arthritis. Photo by Dong Ying
