About This Therapy

Leech Therapy, known as Jalaukavacharana in Ayurveda, is a time-tested bio-surgery method under the Raktamokshana (bloodletting) category.

It involves the application of medicinal leeches to specific areas of the body. The leeches secrete saliva containing bioactive substances like hirudin, which acts as a natural anticoagulant and vasodilator. This process helps in reducing pain, swelling, and congestion while promoting the healing of chronic wounds and skin disorders.
