(Ah Su 26/40)
 The digestive tract of the medicinal
leech is colonized by two bacterias :
Aeromonas veronii and Rikenella.
Aeromonas veronii may cause wound
infections and septicaemia in humans.
 These infections can be prevented
by treating the leech prior to the
application with Haridra(Turmeric)
Curcuma longa.
Skin is rubbed with mrutikka (earth powder), or
pricked with a needle for blood.
In palpebral conjunctiva if Jaluka is not catches
directly use hibiscus bud for scratching.

Critical analysis of raktha mokshana
 As raktha has the qualities like dravatha,
spandhata, by its chalana swabhava and
savasarathwa, doshas can spread all over the
body with special affinity towards pitta
sthana. Here the manifestation of disease is
modulated by raktha as among shatkriya kala
Sushrutha specifies that prasara can occur
only with the help of raktha.
 Stana of Netra is Pitta
 Raktha and Pitta has Asrayasrayee Bandha.
िूयालसे िोखणतमोक्षण च हित तथैिाप्युिनािन च |
कत्स्नो विधिश्चेक्षणिाकघाती यथावििान श षजा प्रयोज्यः ||
(Su ut 12/45)
 Raktha moksha is the treatment of choice for
puyalasa.
 Should be done after Snehana and Swedana.
 Sannipathaja Sandhigata vyadhi
 When undergoes supression it will discharge thick
purulent and foul smelling discharge.
 Though all the three dosas are vitiated, pitta
dominates the disease process involving mamsa
and rakta.
 आनुििान्त रोगे शसरा विस्रािणम् ||
(A S UT 14/13)
As a measure of managing complication
of arma, visravanam can be done.
 In complication of arma
 Growth to reach krishna mandala
 Growth penetrating to deep tissues like mamsa.
 Growth involving blood vessels and tendons
 Growth extending Dristi mandala
These can be controlled by Rakthamoksha, since the
cause for these complication is rakta.
 तत्र व्रणिुक्ले त्रत्रित ् तनरूिेण त्रत्र: वििक्ि सविब:
िाययेत ् | शसरा च विध्येत् | दुष्ट िेष च विण्डित
अक्षक्षगमसक् जलौकोश : अििरेत ् || (A S Ut 14/18)
 In savrana sukla, intially sarpirpana is done and
later Siramokshana; followed by Jalukavacharana, if
remnants are not cleared.
 In this Krishnamandala is disintegrated due to
increase of Pitta.
 The damage is seen in Krishna mandala and
Drstimandala; producing pain, redness and
watering.
Sira vyadha initially expells dusta rakta; but
remaining small quantity of coagulated blood
deposited in the inner side is cleared by using
jalukavacharana
 एि अस्य अनुििान्तरुज: शसरा मोक्षयेत् ||
(A S Ut 19/10)
 If the pain is not subsided in abhishyanda and
adhimantha, sira moksha should be done.
 Abhishyanda is a disease in which there is sroto
syandana in all the channels of head and neck
 Due to its nidana, Sarva deha syandana takes
place and it will lead to Siro – abhisyanda.
 Later Netra abhisyanda will be produced when
there is Khavaigunya associated with achaksusya
sevana
Samprapthi involves Khavaigunya which guided through
Shirovaha and Netravaha siras for the manifestation of
the disease. Since siras are upadatus of raktha.
Raktha moksha is applicable for Abhishyanda.
 A deeper insight of Kriyakalagata samprapthi ghataka
of Adhimantha reveals that
 pathological manifestation of Adhimantha is guided
through Shirovaha and Netravaha siras
 Where siras are upadhatu of Raktha and it is an
important Netra bhandhana.
 The etymological derivation of Sira says that
“Saranath Siraha”.
 with the help of this reference, Ciliary processes,
which continuously ooze aqueous humour, can be
compared with Netravaha sira.
ADHIMANTHA
 ण्स्नग्िस्य छहदबतित: शसरव्यिह्र्तासज:॥
वििरक्तस्य च ित्माबनु तनशलबिेदावििुद्धित:॥
(A H Ut 16/48)
 In chronic diseases of eye, Snehana, Vamana
and Rakthamoksha using Siravedha are
done for complete recovery.
Roga Dosa predominance
4 types of Utklista Raktha
Kukunaka Tridosa & Raktha
Pakshmoparodha Tridosha
Suskakshipaka Tridosa
Puyalasa Tridosa & Pitta
Bisa Vartma Tridosa
Potaki Kapha
Amloshitha Pitta
Alpa Sopa Tridosa
3 types of Abhishyanda (P,K,R) Pitta, Kapha, Rakta
3 types of Adhimantha (P,K,R) Pitta, Kapha, Rakta
 The common symtoms of all the Pilla rogas are:-
 So it shows the clear involvement of Rakta and
Pitta.
 So it should be be clear that Raktamoksha is
useful.

DISSERTATIONS
 EVALUATION OF THE EFFICACY OF
JALAUKAVACHARANA IN THE MANAGEMENT OF
ANJANANAMIKA by Dr.V.P. Naganur
From the study 90% of patients got relief from kandu,
daha, toda, ruja. 10% has the mild improvement due to chronic
history of disease,deep seated etc.
MANAGEMENT OF ADHIMANTHA WITH SPECIAL
REFERENCE TO SIRAVYADHA by Dr.Ashwini.m.j
70% of patients had marked improvement, 25% of
patients had moderate improvement and 5% had mild
improvement.
 Raktamoksha is a simple procedure and can be practiced even
in OPD levels.
 Since the stana of Netra is Pitta; Rakta and Pitha had
Asryasrayee Banda, it should be clear that there in
predominance of Rakta in allmost all types of eye diseases.
 बन्िनगुणास्तु चत्िार: शसरा कडिरामेद: कफात्मका:॥
(A.S.Sh 5/51)
(All the parts of eye are properly alligned together by Aksi
bandana, the components involves Sira, Kandara and Meda.)
 Siras are upadhatu of Raktha
 The etymological derivation of Sira says that “Saranath Siraha”.
 To conquer over the disease in Netra, a focused approach
would be by Rathamoksha, as it controls Raktha, pacifies pitta
and also removes shonithavarana.

  • 32. (Ah Su 27/9) • In diseases of the head and eyes veins situated on the forehead, outer angle of the eyes or the area around the nose should be cut. शिरो नेत्र विकरेषु ललाट्ा मोक्षयेण्त्सराम् अिाङ्गयाम ्उिनास्याम ् िा ……
  • 33.  Patient should be allowed to lie on a table without pillow with the foot end raised.  Fomentation should be done on forehead.  Patient puts his fists on his neck.  An assistant then puts a bandage round the neck and fists and pulls it to make the vein stands out.  Patient is then asked to blow out with his mouth closed.  The protruded vein on the painful area should be punctured using a curved surgical knife.  Very little quantity of blood may come out in this procedure.
  • 35.  As raktha has the qualities like dravatha, spandhata, by its chalana swabhava and savasarathwa, doshas can spread all over the body with special affinity towards pitta sthana. Here the manifestation of disease is modulated by raktha as among shatkriya kala Sushrutha specifies that prasara can occur only with the help of raktha.  Stana of Netra is Pitta  Raktha and Pitta has Asrayasrayee Bandha.
  • 36. िूयालसे िोखणतमोक्षण च हित तथैिाप्युिनािन च | कत्स्नो विधिश्चेक्षणिाकघाती यथावििान श षजा प्रयोज्यः || (Su ut 12/45)  Raktha moksha is the treatment of choice for puyalasa.  Should be done after Snehana and Swedana.
  • 37.  Sannipathaja Sandhigata vyadhi  When undergoes supression it will discharge thick purulent and foul smelling discharge.  Though all the three dosas are vitiated, pitta dominates the disease process involving mamsa and rakta.
  • 38.  आनुििान्त रोगे शसरा विस्रािणम् || (A S UT 14/13) As a measure of managing complication of arma, visravanam can be done.
  • 39.  In complication of arma  Growth to reach krishna mandala  Growth penetrating to deep tissues like mamsa.  Growth involving blood vessels and tendons  Growth extending Dristi mandala These can be controlled by Rakthamoksha, since the cause for these complication is rakta.
  • 40.  तत्र व्रणिुक्ले त्रत्रित ् तनरूिेण त्रत्र: वििक्ि सविब: िाययेत ् | शसरा च विध्येत् | दुष्ट िेष च विण्डित अक्षक्षगमसक् जलौकोश : अििरेत ् || (A S Ut 14/18)  In savrana sukla, intially sarpirpana is done and later Siramokshana; followed by Jalukavacharana, if remnants are not cleared.
  • 41.  In this Krishnamandala is disintegrated due to increase of Pitta.  The damage is seen in Krishna mandala and Drstimandala; producing pain, redness and watering. Sira vyadha initially expells dusta rakta; but remaining small quantity of coagulated blood deposited in the inner side is cleared by using jalukavacharana
  • 42.  एि अस्य अनुििान्तरुज: शसरा मोक्षयेत् || (A S Ut 19/10)  If the pain is not subsided in abhishyanda and adhimantha, sira moksha should be done.
  • 43.  Abhishyanda is a disease in which there is sroto syandana in all the channels of head and neck  Due to its nidana, Sarva deha syandana takes place and it will lead to Siro – abhisyanda.  Later Netra abhisyanda will be produced when there is Khavaigunya associated with achaksusya sevana Samprapthi involves Khavaigunya which guided through Shirovaha and Netravaha siras for the manifestation of the disease. Since siras are upadatus of raktha. Raktha moksha is applicable for Abhishyanda.
  • 44.  A deeper insight of Kriyakalagata samprapthi ghataka of Adhimantha reveals that  pathological manifestation of Adhimantha is guided through Shirovaha and Netravaha siras  Where siras are upadhatu of Raktha and it is an important Netra bhandhana.  The etymological derivation of Sira says that “Saranath Siraha”.  with the help of this reference, Ciliary processes, which continuously ooze aqueous humour, can be compared with Netravaha sira.

  • 45.  ण्स्नग्िस्य छहदबतित: शसरव्यिह्र्तासज:॥ वििरक्तस्य च ित्माबनु तनशलबिेदावििुद्धित:॥ (A H Ut 16/48)  In chronic diseases of eye, Snehana, Vamana and Rakthamoksha using Siravedha are done for complete recovery.
