📋 What Was Done & Why It Matters
- Minor punctures, bleeding, or injections
- TCM view: Controlled bleeding releases “stagnant blood” and stimulates qi, encouraging natural healing and smooth energy flow.
- Functional‑medicine view: Enhances lymphatic drainage, reduces localized inflammation, and boosts micro‑circulation.
- Cosmetic benefit: Improves skin tone and gradually diminishes the visibility of superficial veins.
