Raktamokshanam – Ayurvedic Blood Purification Therapy

According to Ayurvedic texts, diseases caused by Rakta and Pitta vitiation cannot be fully cured without blood purification. Raktamokshanam works by reducing heat, inflammation, and toxicity in the blood.

This therapy helps in:

• Purifying blood and improving circulation

• Reducing inflammation and burning sensation

• Treating chronic skin diseases

• Accelerating wound healing

• Improving immunity and tissue health

It is especially beneficial for psoriasis, eczema, acne, abscess, varicose veins, gout, non-healing ulcers, and inflammatory joint disorders.

Types of Raktamokshanam

Depending on the disease condition, location, and patient strength, different methods are used:

• Jalouka Avacharana (Leech Therapy) – Most commonly used, gentle and safe

• Siravyadha – Controlled venesection (only in selected cases)

• Pracchana – Micro-incisions for localized blood removal

The method is selected strictly by the doctor based on classical guidelines.
