Acupuncture - question
<p>Dear Dr. King, <br /><br />
In the text of the Course as one of the reducing methods, reducing by keeping the hole open is recommended. “On withdrawing of the needle, shake it to enlarge the hole and allow the pathogenic factor going out. Conversely, pressing the hole quickly to close it and preventing the vital Qi from escaping is called the reinforcing method”. On the other side in the common part of the inserting and withdrawing the needle there is explanation: “Press the punctured point for a while to prevent bleeding”. Can I understand that in case of reducing method pressing on the point to prevent bleeding must be done not immediately? What is a procedure to prevent bleeding and to keep reducing effect?</p>

To tell the truth, this method is not much used nowadays! Only occasionally to treat some acute cases with severe pain such as lumbar sprain or ankle sprain, the needled holes could be enlarged deliberatetly for the sake of releasing the pathogenic factors. Or, to treat patients with flu or similar febrile dieases manifesting with fever, the holes could be enlarged and won't be pressed after the withdrawal of needles, to let the pathogenic Qi released as well. <br />
In this case, if there is bleeding in one of the needled point, for sure we have to press the needle hole with a dry cotton ball to prevent the further bleeding and at this moment, you cannot think any longer the reducing method by means of letting the hole open:D.</p>

<br />
Some other methods may also be used more or less, which is given in details in the course C. </p>
