At the I-AIM Healthcare Centre, Raktamokshana treatment is a vital constituent of Para-surgical and Panchakarma therapy in Ayurveda. Rakta Mokshana literally means the release of impure blood. It is a specialized para-surgical procedure described in classical Ayurveda and is also closely associated with Panchakarma therapy. According to Ayurveda, when blood becomes vitiated—mainly due to aggravated Pitta and Raktha Dosha—it leads to various skin, inflammatory, acute and chronic disorders. Rakta Mokshana helps rectify this with a systematic approach.
Ayurveda considers blood as a vital tissue that nourishes the body. Improper diet, stress, infections, pollution, and lifestyle habits can contaminate blood, resulting in various disease conditions. Rakta Mokshana works by removing vitiated blood, allowing fresh blood to circulate and heal tissues naturally.
1. Siravedha (Venesection):

Siravedha is the controlled puncture of a vein to remove impure blood. This method is commonly used to treat conditions like Varicose veins, acute and chronic severe pain conditions like sciatica, calcaneal spur, tennis elbow pain, high blood pressure, skin disorders. It helps in removing the stagnated and vitiated blood and balancing the body's internal systems.
2. Jalauka Avacharana (Leech Therapy):
For PITHA INVOLVEMENT
Jalauka Avacharana involves using medicinal leeches to gently draw blood from the affected part of the body. The leeches release therapeutic enzymes from their saliva into the blood stream while sucking the blood - that not only purify the blood but also reduce swelling, inflammation, and promote healing. It is effective in treating various non healing ulcers, promotes blood circulation in complex conditions, various blood disorders, varicose veins, arthritis, skin conditions etc.

5. Alabu Avacharana:
For KAPHA INVOLVEMENT
Alabu Avacharana uses the suction power of a bottle gourd to extract impure blood from the body. The hollow gourd is placed on the skin, creating a vacuum that draws out blood. This method is particularly useful for cleansing the blood and treating certain pain conditions associated with stiffness and heaviness, inflammatory and benign swellings and certain skin conditions.
