Leech therapy treatment, known as Raktamokshana in Ayurveda, is offered at Vedantam Ayurveda as a specialised blood-purification therapy for chronic skin and scalp conditions.
Medicinal leeches are applied to specific points on the skin under therapist supervision. They gently draw out impure blood (Dushta Rakta), which Ayurveda links to many stubborn skin and hair disorders.
Leech therapy treatment may help people with stubborn skin conditions, alopecia areata, varicose veins, or localised chronic pain — always performed under expert supervision.
A session takes about 30-45 minutes. Sterile, medicinal-grade leeches are used once and disposed of safely afterwards, and the treated area is cleaned and dressed before you leave.
Vedantam Ayurveda follows strict hygiene protocols, uses medicinal-grade leeches with proper aftercare, and is supervised by trained practitioners, priced at just ₹200 per leech.
