What is Leech Therapy in Ayurveda?

Jalaukavacharana, a detoxification technique using medicinal leeches which acts as drainage system of impure blood of the body is known as leech therapy in Ayurveda. In India Panchakarma therapy, the practice of this method has been going on for thousands of years.



How Does Leech Therapy Work?

Medicinal leeches hold on the skin and suck out impure blood. They have over 100 bioactive compounds including hirudin which are natural blood thinner, pain relievers and anti inflammatory agents in their saliva. The leech eventually detaches and the body fills in with healthier, oxygen rich blood to help heal and rejuvenate.
