The summarizing scheme of all points for applying the radical medical procedures such as bloodletting, caloripuncture and needle therapy is featured at the sheet. The points for bloodletting are marked blue, the points for firing are marked red, and the ones for needle therapy are marked yellow.

The bloodletting procedure is usually carried when the patient has the fever diseases connected with blood, or ‘bile’ functional disturbance. For instance, when one has a heavy feeling in lower part of the body, hemorrhoid or some womb disease, the bloodletting is executed from the point of the bigger vessel in the inner side of a thigh. In case of intestinal colic, uterine bleeding, or urinary retention it’s executed in the area of the ankle’s vessel point. In total there are 79 points for bloodletting on human’s body.

Thermal procedures or caloripuncture is usually executed in case of the “cold diseases”, caused by the “phlegm”s” and “pheuma”s” functional disturbance, in case of madness and memory loss which is connected with the demons’ influence in Tibetan medicine. There are counterindications, caloripuncture cannot be executed in case of ‘fever diseases’, heavy weather, rain with snow, at the 1st, 18th and 22nd days of a month and also at the time of the full moon.

The exact point for caloripuncture is chosen depending on the disease character. Therefore, firing the top of the head’s point helps in case of “pneuma diseases”, weakness of memory, reduction in vision and non-stop nose bleeding; firing fontanel point helps in case of brain diseases, forgetfulness and vertigo.

Needle therapy is connected with executing punctures for letting out infected fluid, bad blood and other liquids from the organism. This procedure is used for treatment of the internal and external tumors, dropsy, abscesses, burn injuries, accumulation of liquid in articular bags and so on. Needle therapy is contraindicative to the children and old people.
