Harness the Power of Nature for Healing

At Dr. Rekha Health Wisdom Ayurveda and Panchkarma Centre, we offer Leech Therapy (Jalaukavacharana), an ancient and effective Ayurvedic treatment that uses live medicinal leeches to purify the blood, improve circulation, and promote healing. This therapy is especially beneficial for conditions involving inflammation, chronic pain, and skin disorders.

What is Leech Therapy?

Leech Therapy is a natural detoxification and healing method where medicinal leeches are applied to specific areas of the body. These leeches release bioactive compounds, including hirudin, an anticoagulant, which helps remove impure blood and improve circulation, fostering faster recovery and relief from various ailments.
