The course covers full diagnostics of where and when to bleed using three different types of bloodletting equipment and these techniques are discussed, demonstrated and practised in class.

Get training in bloodletting for emotional issues, as well as systematic and general stagnation issues, auricular techniques and specific protocols for various issues.

WHAT THE STUDENTS SAY

“I attended the Bloodletting course recently, the communications before and after course are excellent. The teacher is very knowledgeable and covered every point for practicing safely and effectively. I learned lots out of this course and highly recommend Total Therapy Training”Yan vW

“The Chinese Bloodletting was a very unique and well formulated course covering a subject that is not really taught else where in the UK. The theory was thorough and the strong practical element helped to solidify the teachings of the day, with an extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructor. Amazing course!”Paz Gohil, Birmingham

FAQs

Does this course cover wet cupping?We do demonstrate Chinese Blood Letting with Cupping but this is not the same as the well-known ‘Wet Cupping’ as performed by Hijama therapists.

I’ve heard that you can’t get insured by Balens Insurance for Bloodletting, why are you saying you can?Working in Partnership with Balen’s Insurance we can confirm that our course is the only one in the UK approved and insured by Balen’s. As long as you are a qualified acupuncturist and registered with the British Acupuncture Federation, you can gain insurance. Please feel free to give them a call and check on 01684 893006. (Ask for the affinities team)

I haven’t done any other therapy before so I’m a complete beginner, can I come on this course?Unfortunately you will need an acupuncture qualification or a Wet Cupping qualification to get insurance on this so we cannot accept students without either of these.

What are the benefits of Bloodletting?This therapy can be used for clinical or cosmetic purposes and although it sounds alarming it is actually extremely safe. This therapy is becoming more accepted now especially with the NHS currently running trials with Blood Letting via leeches. It can obtain extraordinary results for chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

Who is it for?This course is aimed at anyone who meets the prerequisites and wishes to learn a valuable skill in stagnation removal, cosmetic applications and Chinese Symptom remedies.
