Siravedh – Raktmokshana Therapy

Siravedh Ayurvedic Bloodletting Therapy

Authentic Siravedh Treatment – Ayurvedic Bloodletting Therapy

Siravedh is a traditional Ayurvedic bloodletting therapy and one of the primary methods of Raktmokshana (blood purification). It involves releasing a controlled amount of impure blood from a vein using a needle to remove toxins, reduce inflammation, and restore circulatory balance.

Siravedh is described in classical Ayurvedic texts as an effective method of extracting blood using a needle to purify the blood, reduce Pitta dosha, and treat a range of conditions related to blood impurity, inflammation, and circulatory imbalance.

Procedure

  • The patient is informed and reassured about the complete procedure before beginning.
  • The patient is positioned comfortably — sitting, standing, or lying down as appropriate.
  • A soft cloth band is tied above the selected extraction site to make the vein visible.
  • The skin is cleaned and sterilized thoroughly before the procedure.
  • A sterile needle is used to puncture the vein and allow impure blood to flow out.
  • The patient is monitored carefully throughout the entire procedure.
  • After the required amount of blood is released, the site is cleaned and bandaged.

What Is Siravedh in Ayurveda?

Siravedh is a form of Raktmokshana in which impure blood is extracted from a vein using a needle. Unlike leech therapy which uses medicinal leeches, Siravedh involves controlled venesection performed by a trained Ayurvedic practitioner. It helps eliminate impure blood, reduce Pitta-related disorders, and restore healthy blood circulation.

How Siravedh Works in Ayurveda

According to Ayurvedic principles, impure blood and elevated Pitta dosha can trigger inflammation, skin disorders, pain, and circulatory imbalance. Siravedh removes contaminated blood from the affected area, thereby reducing toxins, decreasing inflammation, and restoring the natural balance of doshas and blood quality.
