Raktamokshana, or bloodletting, is one of the key purification therapies described in Ayurveda and practiced with care at Westwind Ayurveda. This therapy focuses on the controlled removal of a small quantity of blood to eliminate accumulated toxins, purify the system, and bring balance to the doshas, particularly Pitta. By cleansing the bloodstream, Raktamokshana helps address the root cause of several chronic ailments rather than just suppressing symptoms.
This therapy has been used for centuries to treat a wide range of health concerns, especially blood-borne and inflammatory conditions. At Westwind Ayurveda, we combine time-tested Ayurvedic wisdom with strict hygiene and safety standards, ensuring that every procedure is both effective and comfortable. With expert practitioners and a serene healing environment, Raktamokshana becomes not only a therapeutic intervention but also a step towards restoring overall vitality and well-being.
