Raktamokshana Therapy — Ayurvedic Blood Purification for Skin & Inflammatory Conditions
Raktamokshana — sometimes spelled Raktamokshan, and known in practice as leech therapy or Ayurvedic bloodletting — is one of Ayurveda's five classical Panchakarma therapies, used to purify the blood and ease localized inflammation. Available at 6 clinics across Delhi NCR & Gurugram.
What Is Raktamokshana Therapy?
Classical Blood Purification, Not a Fringe Practice
Raktamokshana (Raktamokshan) is one of the five core Panchakarma procedures in classical Ayurveda, specifically aimed at purifying vitiated blood (Rakta) believed to underlie certain chronic skin conditions and localized inflammatory pain. At Ayurnava, Raktamokshana is administered by trained practitioners using safe, controlled methods — most commonly medicinal leech therapy — never as an unsupervised or informal procedure.
Raktamokshana (also spelled Raktamokshan) is a classical Ayurvedic blood purification therapy, most often performed today as medicinal leech therapy, used to draw out a small, controlled amount of vitiated blood from a localized area. It's commonly used for chronic skin disorders, localized inflammatory pain, and certain Pitta-blood conditions, and is recognized as one of the five classical Panchakarma procedures alongside Vamana, Virechana, Basti, and Nasya.
At Ayurnava, your practitioner first confirms Raktamokshana is appropriate for your specific condition through assessment and relevant health screening, since this is a more invasive Panchakarma procedure than most and is reserved for select, suitable cases.
The Process
How Raktamokshana Therapy Works at Ayurnava
1
Consultation & Screening
Your practitioner assesses your condition and confirms Raktamokshana therapy is appropriate, including relevant health screening beforehand.
2
Site Preparation
The localized area to be treated is cleaned and prepared, often with a mild massage to improve local circulation.
3
Raktamokshana Procedure
Medicinal leech therapy or another appropriate classical method is used to draw a small, controlled amount of blood from the affected area under practitioner supervision.
4
Aftercare & Wound Care
The site is dressed and monitored, with clear aftercare instructions given to support healing and prevent infection.

Is Raktamokshana safe?
When performed by trained practitioners under proper hygiene and screening protocols, it's considered safe for suitable candidates — but it's not appropriate for everyone, including those with bleeding disorders, severe anemia, or certain other conditions, which is why screening comes first.
What conditions is Raktamokshana used for?
It's most commonly used for certain chronic skin disorders and localized inflammatory pain linked to vitiated blood (Rakta) and Pitta imbalance, and is sometimes used supportively for gout-related joint pain.
The Tradition Behind It
Understanding Raktamokshana Therapy: Science & Tradition
Raktamokshana is described in classical Ayurvedic texts as the therapy specifically indicated for conditions where Rakta (blood tissue) itself is considered vitiated, distinguishing it from therapies aimed at the other doshas.
Medicinal leech therapy, the most common modern application of Raktamokshana, uses the leech's natural anticoagulant secretions during controlled, localized blood-letting — a practice with both classical Ayurvedic and broader historical medical roots.
This is a wellness and supportive-care therapy, complementary to — not a replacement for — diagnosis and treatment of chronic skin conditions or other diagnosed conditions by a qualified physician, and requires proper screening before any session.
