Abstract

Ayurvedic shodhan treatment is considered very important when the vitiation of the doshas is in excess. It has been advised to treat the ati-pravriddha doshas by shodhan. Shodhan treatment is five fold bio-purificatory techniques. Raktamokshna (Blood letting) has been considered as prime treatment for the management of diseases caused by vitiated rakta. Raktamokshna can be done by two methods, i. shastra, the sharp intruments, and ii. anushatra. Jalauka, the medicinal leech, has been recognised as an anushastra by Sushrut, and ahs been considered best treatment modality for treatment of Pittaj disorders of Rakta. Leech therapy has been recommended for the treatment of various diseases in Ayurvedic texts. This manuscript outlines the applicability of Leech therapy as explained in Ayurvedic texts and as recorded in various studies. Leech therapy has proved its efficacy in diseases ranging from pimples to inhibition of lung tumor colonization.
