The body uses bleeding as a way of eliminating excess heat. This occurs especially in situations in which the yin is deficient and therefore cannot control the yang. The only option is for the body to eliminate the yang, which it does by bleeding. Examples are epistaxis, excessive menstrual bleeding, vomiting of blood in patients with liver cirrhosis or gastric ulcer, bloody stool in patients with ulcerative colitis and coughing blood in patients with tuberculosis. When the body eliminates Blood, it has no control over the quantity of bleeding, so eventually there will be Blood deficiency. But we can use this principle, in theory, to eliminate heat without causing a Blood deficiency.

'Cosmetic Acupuncture' introduces an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of cosmetic and dermatological problems based on techniques grounded in traditional Chinese medicine. The second edition includes colour photographs and practical instruction on how to perform treatment techniques as well as new material on needling and massage techniques. A guide to the diagnosis and treatment of cosmetic and dermatological problems with practical instruction on how to perform treatment techniques. Thambirajah explains the energetic imbalances which cause skin diseases and the problems of early ageing, and describes how they can be treated successfully. Skin problems occur because the Blood, Qi, yin and yang of the body are not in balance and the book discusses how these can be balanced by acupuncture therapy. The therapy for a cosmetic problem has three steps: 1) to balance the body energies that cause the problem, 2) to treat the problem locally, 3) changing the diet and lifestyle of the patients with these problems. Concepts are accompanied with useful illustrations throughout, demonstrating the methods described. This second edition also contains new material on needling and massage techniques. This is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook on the topic for practising acupuncturists and Chinese Medicine practitioners
