In Ayurveda, Jalauka Avacharana is one of the most refined methods of Raktamokshana (therapeutic bloodletting). Medicinal leeches selectively remove vitiated blood, helping restore the balance of Rakta and Pitta Dosha while promoting natural healing.
✨ Benefits according to Ayurveda:
• Reduces pain and inflammation
• Improves local blood circulation
• Helps relieve congestion
• Promotes wound healing
• Supports management of certain skin disorders
• Useful in selected cases of varicose veins, localized swelling, and inflammatory conditions
Unlike invasive procedures, leech therapy is a gentle, minimally traumatic technique when performed by a qualified Ayurvedic physician under proper aseptic precautions.
