Rakthamokshana is the fifth Panchakarma procedure — a therapeutic bloodletting treatment that removes impure blood from your body. This is accomplished through either traditional leech therapy (Jalauka) or sterile needle piercing (Siravyadha) depending on your condition.
This treatment is based on the Ayurvedic principle that impure blood (dushta rakta) is the root cause of many skin diseases, inflammatory conditions, and chronic pain. By removing this toxic blood, the body can heal itself naturally.
