It improves circulation to a specific area, reduces inflammation and improves healing of a specific body location along with the entire system in general.
> Rakthamokshana procedure done by following steps like given particular process below:-
(a) Rakthamokshana procedure done by vein puncture: It is done usually in the day morning or in the late afternoon. The doctor will select a prominent vein for the puncture. The skin around the site of the puncture will be cleaned using antiseptic. Your eyes will be covered using a cotton pad and bandage. A tourniquet will be tied above the site of puncture. The vein will be pricked using a sterile needle. Blood will flow out and will be collected in a glass measuring jar. After a few minutes, the flow will stop by itself or it will stop once the tourniquet is released. The needle will be removed and the site will be again cleaned and a bandage will be applied.
(b) Rakthamokshana by applying leeches: This is done usually in the morning or in the late afternoon. The skin in the area to be treated will be cleaned using antiseptic. The site will be washed using a medicated liquid. Your eyes will be covered using a cotton pad and bandage. One or two small needle pricks will be applied on the skin to let out a drop of blood. One or a few leeches will be applied to the site. The leeches will suck blood and enlarge in size. They will let go when they are full/satiated. After the leeches are removed, the area will be again cleaned and disinfected using herbal medicines.
(c) Rakthamokshana by making small cuts/ pricks on skin: This is done usually in the morning or in the late afternoon. The skin in the area to be treated will be cleaned using antiseptic.
