Abstract

Raktamokshana is one of the principal shodhana therapy explained in Ayurveda. It is a technical term employed to denote a Para-Surgical procedure to expel out the vitiated blood from selected areas of the body. This is a review study to employ the principles of physics in the process of Raktamokshana. Raktamokshana Chikitsa is emphasized as half treatment as per Acharya Sushruta in the Shalya Tantra. There are various methods to perform Raktamokshana i.e. Shringa, Alabu, Jalauka & Siravedana. In the present study we have concentrated on explaining use of Alabu. Raktamokshana through Alabu is done by creating vacuum and extracting the blood. A noble attempt has been made to explain the principle of Alabu Raktamokshana under the light of principle of physics.
