Leech Therapy – Jalaukavacharana
Description
Leech Therapy (Jalaukavacharana) is a classical physician-supervised para-surgical procedure described in Ayurveda, involving the controlled application of medicinal leeches to remove impure blood from a localized area. It is indicated in selected conditions such as non-healing wounds, varicose vein, localized inflammatory disorders, certain skin diseases, and vascular congestion.
At Sattva Ayurveda, Leech Therapy is performed only after a thorough clinical evaluation using medically approved leeches and strict aseptic protocols, ensuring patient safety and adherence to authentic Ayurvedic principles.
