Leech Therapy (Jalaukavacharana)
Advanced Ayurvedic Blood Purification Treatment
Leech Therapy, known in Ayurveda as Jalaukavacharana, is a specialized Raktamokshana (blood purification) procedure used for the management of various skin, inflammatory, and vascular disorders. At Loknath Ayurved, Raiganj, this therapy is provided under the expert supervision of Dr. Somnath Dutta (B.A.M.S.), a qualified Ayurvedic physician with clinical and academic experience in leech therapy.
According to classical Ayurvedic texts such as Sushruta Samhita, Jalaukavacharana is considered one of the safest and most effective bloodletting techniques, especially suitable for Pitta-dominant conditions. Medicinal leeches help remove impure blood while releasing natural bioactive substances that possess anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anticoagulant, and antimicrobial properties. These actions improve local blood circulation, reduce pain and swelling, and promote natural healing.
At our Raiganj Ayurvedic clinic in Uttar Dinajpur, leech therapy is commonly used in conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, non-healing wounds, varicose veins, abscess, hair fall, scalp disorders, arthritis, and chronic skin infections. Each patient is properly examined before treatment, and therapy is planned according to Ayurvedic principles and individual body constitution.
Dr. Somnath Dutta has also published a scientific article on leech therapy in the International Ayurvedic Medical Journal (IAMJ), highlighting its clinical importance and therapeutic outcomes. This academic contribution reflects his commitment to evidence-based Ayurvedic practice and ethical application of classical therapies in modern clinical settings.
Only medicinal leeches are used at Loknath Ayurved, and strict hygiene, sterilization, and safety protocols are maintained during every session. The therapy is usually combined with appropriate Ayurvedic internal medicines, diet advice, and lifestyle modification to ensure long-term and sustainable results.
