Raktamokshana Therapy

Ancient Ayurvedic Blood Purification Treatment

Raktamokshana Therapy

Raktamokshana, which means 'to let out the blood', is a specialized bloodletting procedure and effective blood purification therapy that helps in neutralizing the accumulated Pitta in the blood.

This ayurvedic treatment is especially effective in treating haemo pathological conditions, skin disorders and skin allergies. It is a localized treatment and usually not more than 10 to 40 ml of blood is removed at a time.
