Micro-bleeding are used as a dispersion technique. It consists of removing a small amount of blood with one or more superficial incisions. This action moves the blood. To avoid infections extreme hygiene: wear gloves and gauze. A lancet or hammer of plum blossom or suction cups is usually used to bleed larger areas. To bleed small superficial venous vessels it is better to use hypodermic needle.
In the Meridians Yang (metal), in the meridians Yin (wood) – control the flow of energy in the organs (unlock).

When we bite the tips of the fingers, points rivers or areas of the back. We do not itch a visible blood vessel. With an insertion of about 2 mm deep we empty the blood from the superficial capillaries of an area. Squeeze out drops of blood or apply a suction cup to suck it out. The amount of blood to be removed depends on each patient, just a few drops in the right place make a great effect.
When we bite a small visible venous vessel, such as spider veins. In this case with the lancet we have little visibility of where we bite, it is better to use a hypodermic needle to make a good insertion and not produce hematoma. Small very superficial and dark vessels are chosen. An insertion is made with care not to completely pass through the vessel and is allowed to bleed until it coagulates on its own (except in special cases with bleeding disorders).
