From the Study on the Pricking blood therapy of HwangjeNaegyeong, we conclude as follows;
1. The blood is apt to coagulate because of having concreteness. The blood is mainly coagulate at the collateral Meridian, minute collaterals, superficial collaterals and superficial vessels. By way of the Pricking blood therapy, the Stagnation of blood can be circulated, pathogenic factor removed, Eum-Yang(陰陽) and Gi and blood(氣血) can reach their balance.
2. To bloodletting, we should examine minutely, touch carefully with the region of the stagnated blood. After close observation of the stagnated blood, we should remove the stagnated blood up to clear. At the same time, we should observe carefully the color of the stanated blood.
3. The acupuncture used for the Pricking blood therapy were stone needle, Bongchim(鋒鍼), Chamchim(鑱鍼), Pichim(鈹鍼) and Hochim(毫鍼) etc. After ages, from the base of Bongchim(鋒鍼), the three-edged needle became typical form. The skill of the Pricking blood therapy also became diverse, clinical application became wide.
4. After giving medical treatment with the Pricking blood therapy, reactions are various. Among them are side effects and normal effects.
5. The Pricking blood therapy is usually considered as simple sectional curing method, while it was considered as curing diseases of JangBu(臟腑) or meridians in Hwangje-Naegyeong. Therefore, if we sould apply the Pricking blood therapy on the basis of Hwangje-Naegyeong, we should carefully understand the pattern identification according to Meridians and collaterals, and pattern identification of the Jang-Bu organs.
