EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional practice of bloodletting in Ethiopia, Africa, circa 1910s. Bloodletting is an ancient healing method that has been used by various cultures throughout history, including in Ethiopia, as a means of treating various ailments and promoting good health. In this image, a native healer is shown performing the procedure on a patient using a cow horn. The healer has made a small incision on the patient's arm with a razor, and is now using the hollowed-out cow horn to suck out the blood. The horn, which has been cleaned and sterilized, acts as a container for the blood and also helps to apply suction, enhancing the flow of blood from the wound. Bloodletting was believed to help balance the body's humors, or fluids, and was thought to be effective in treating a range of conditions, from fever and headaches to digestive issues and even mental health disorders. The practice was deeply rooted in Ethiopian tribal culture and was often carried out by traditional healers who were respected members of their communities. Despite the advances of modern medicine, bloodletting continues to be practiced in some parts of Ethiopia and other African countries, particularly in rural areas where access to conventional healthcare is limited. While the scientific basis for the effectiveness of bloodletting is not supported by modern medical research, the practice holds deep cultural significance and continues to be an important aspect of traditional healing practices in many communities around the world.
