Raktamokshana

Ayurvedic Blood Purification Therapy Raktamokshana is one of the five Panchakarma therapies in Ayurveda, aimed at detoxifying the blood and removing deep-seated toxins from the body. The word literally means "releasing (mokshana) of impure blood (rakta)."
It is a powerful technique used to balance Pitta dosha and treat disorders caused due to impure or vitiated blood (Raktadushti).
