ABSTRACT

Hemorrhoids are very common diseases occurring in old age people due to constipation and laxity of walls of hemorrhoidal plexus. Though, there are very simple surgical procedures to treat hemorrhoids, sometimes due to inflammation surgery cannot be performed immediately. Ayurveda has a very vast scope of treatment for many diseases with only using medicines as well as minor surgical procedures called as Para surgical procedures. Raktamokshana is very common Para-surgical procedure which consists of various methods i.e. Shastrakruta Raktamokshana and Ashastrakruta Raktamokshana. Jalaukavacharana is an Ashastrakruta Raktamokshana mainly used for Pittaja or Raktaja Vyaadhis. In Jalaukavacharana fresh non-toxic leeches (Nirvisha Jalaukas) are used for Raktamokshana. With the constituents of saliva of Jalauka, many diseases become treatable. Jalauka has very good effects in treating inflammatory conditions by local application. Here, a case of inflamed hemorrhoids treated with Jalaukavacharana is discussed.
