Leech Therapy (Jalauka) in Ayurveda is a time-tested, natural method of detoxification and healing that uses medicinal leeches to remove impure blood from the body. This ancient therapy helps restore balance in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Rakta, and is known for its effectiveness in relieving inflammation, pain, skin conditions and promoting circulation.
Leech Therapy offers a gentle yet powerful healing process for both acute and chronic conditions. The leech’s saliva contains bioactive enzymes that act as natural anticoagulants, pain relievers and anti-inflammatory agents, making it highly effective in conditions like eczema, psoriasis, varicose veins, arthritis and non-healing wounds.
At Shreya Ayurved Clinic, Lucknow, our trained Ayurvedic physicians perform Jalauka therapy under sterile, safe, and personalized settings. With a focus on holistic well-being, we combine this therapy with appropriate internal medication, dietary advice, and post-treatment care for optimal results.
