Venesection, or bloodletting (al-fasd)

For Ibn Sina venesection is a general evacuation that relieves a plethora of the humours, one of the manual modes of treatment. The fourth fann of Book I gives it its own chapter, covering who may be bled and who should be spared, narrow and wide incisions, the six veins of the arm, and the danger of the artery lying under the basilic vein. The Canon treats cupping and leeches in the chapters that follow, so for Ibn Sina bloodletting is a different procedure from cupping.
