Bloodletting was a medical practice used historically to treat various ailments based on the belief that it could balance the body's humors—blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. Practitioners thought that excess blood contributed to illness, so removing it was believed to restore health. This method was popular from antiquity through the 19th century but has since been discredited as ineffective and potentially harmful. Today, bloodletting is rarely used, except in specific medical conditions like polycythemia vera, where it can help reduce excess blood cells.
