Siravyadha (also called Siravedhana) is a classical Ayurvedic para-surgical therapy that involves carefully puncturing a vein to remove vitiated or impure blood.

In the healing traditions of Ayurveda, the body is viewed as a sacred field where prana, blood, and consciousness flow together.

Raktamokshana is an Ayurvedic detox therapy that removes small amounts of blood to clear toxins.
