Abstract: Aim: To observe skin pruritus treated by blood-letting puncture and cupping of auricular and Shu-back acupoints.

Oral Loratadine tablets was 20 mg/tablet, 1 tablet/time, once a day, 3 to 7 days. 30 patients in the A&SB group，about 3 auricular acupoints and 3~5 pairs of Shu-back acupoints were selected for blood-letting and cupping immediately, 3~5 days/time, 3~5 times for total treatments. Result: In Loratadine group, 15 cases were cured, 5 were markedly effective, and 10 were ineffective. Total effective rate was 66.7%. A&SB group: 25 cases were cured, 3 were markedly effective, and 2 were ineffective. Total the effective rate was 93.3%. Conclusion: Blood-letting puncture and cupping of auricular and Shu-back acupoints was effective for treatment of skin pruritus.
