Purify the blood, calm inflammation, and heal chronic conditions with time-tested Ayurvedic detox
What is Raktamokshana?
Raktamokshana is a specialized detoxification therapy in Ayurveda that involves the controlled removal of a small quantity of blood to eliminate accumulated toxins and vitiated Pitta dosha from the circulatory system. As one of the Shodhana Chikitsa (purificatory therapies), Raktamokshana is highly effective in treating disorders that originate from blood impurities, including skin diseases, inflammation, and chronic infections.
At Sitaram Ayurveda Hospital, Raktamokshana is performed with utmost precision and care by qualified Ayurvedic doctors using sterile techniques and specific methods tailored to individual needs.
How Raktamokshana Works
In Ayurveda, the blood (Rakta dhatu) is considered a vital tissue responsible for nourishing the entire body and mind. When toxins or imbalanced doshas accumulate in the blood, it can lead to various diseases, especially those affecting the skin, joints, and internal organs.
Raktamokshana involves the extraction of this impure blood to reduce toxic load, inflammation, and pathological heat from the system. There are two main techniques used:
- Siravyadha (Venesection): Involves controlled removal of blood from a selected vein, typically used in systemic conditions.
- Jalaukavacharana (Leech Therapy): The application of medicinal leeches to draw out impure blood, ideal for sensitive patients and localized issues.
Each case is evaluated carefully, and the appropriate technique is chosen based on the patient’s constitution (Prakriti), strength, condition, and disease stage.
