If you encounter someone having a stroke, help the person simply by letting his or her blood flow. And to do this, all you need is a needle to prick the stroke sufferer. Read on to find out how it is done. This is good knowledge. Stroke is common these days so you never know whose life you can be saving today.

Note: this tip is not from me as I am no expert in health issues. Just sharing what I’ve heard and learned.

What to do when someone has a stroke:

The first and best thing you can do for a stroke victim is to stay calm yourself in order to administer first aid quickly and calmly. Don’t panic yourself and the victim!

Do not move the stroke patient as the movement could cause the capillaries in the brain to gradually burst.

Help the victim to sit up. Then, proceed to do bloodletting process with a syringe, sewing needle or a straight pin.

Here is how you do it:

1. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it, and then use it to prick the tip of all 10 fingers.
2. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about 1mm from the fingernail.
3. Prick till blood comes out.
4. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.
5. When all 10 fingers are bleeding, wait a few minutes for the victim will regain consciousness.
6. If the victim’s mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until they are red.
7. Then prick each ear lobe twice until two drops of blood comes out from each ear lobe. After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness.

Wait till the victim regain his normal state without any abnormal symptoms then take him to the hospital, otherwise, if he was taken in the ambulance in a hurry to the hospital, the bumpy trip may cause all the capillaries in his brain to burst.
