Leech Therapy for Viman Nagar Patients: How It Works

Viman Nagar is an online consultation branch. Here is how patients from Viman Nagar, Kalyani Nagar, Koregaon Park and Yerawada consult, and where the leech therapy sittings are done.

Key Takeaways
Step one is an online consultation with our M.D. Ayurveda doctors, from home in Viman Nagar, Kalyani Nagar, Koregaon Park or Yerawada.
Step two, if leech therapy suits you, is a sitting in person at Ghorpadi (Main), BT Kawade Road, or at Manjri Bk, Hadapsar. No leech therapy is performed at Viman Nagar.
Leech therapy costs Rs 500 per leech, per sitting. The number of leeches and sittings is confirmed before anything starts.
It is considered for local congestion and inflammation: inflamed skin lesions, scalp inflammation, varicose veins, and swollen, painful joints, as one part of a wider plan.
It is not done for people on blood thinners, with bleeding disorders, severe anaemia, fever or infection, low immunity, or in pregnancy.
Read this first. Leech therapy is not done if you take blood thinners or daily aspirin, have a bleeding disorder, severe anaemia, fever or an active infection, low immunity, a known allergy to leech saliva, or are pregnant. Diabetes needs to be controlled and your physician needs to agree. Tell the doctor about every medicine at the online consultation, so that you do not travel for a sitting that then has to be declined.

Two steps

Two Steps for Viman Nagar Patients

Book an online consultation
Call or WhatsApp 8698282507. The consultation is by video or phone with Dr. Prashant Amrutkar or Dr. Amruta Amrutkar. Keep your reports, prescriptions and clear photographs of the affected area ready.
The doctor decides if leech therapy suits you
Many problems are managed with Ayurvedic Medicine, diet and routine alone, and medicines are couriered to your home. Leech therapy is advised only where local congestion or inflammation calls for it, and only after screening for the conditions that rule it out.
Sitting at Ghorpadi, Manjri Bk Hadapsar or Wagholi
A sitting takes about an hour to an hour and a half. The bites ooze for several hours afterwards, which is expected, so come with a companion and plan a quiet day. The doctor examines the area in person before the first sitting.
Follow-up online
Reviews between sittings are done online where that is enough. Sittings are usually one to two weeks apart, and the doctor stops when the aim is met.
Leech therapy is performed at Ghorpadi (Main), BT Kawade Road and Manjri Bk, Hadapsar. Viman Nagar and Kharadi are online consultation branches. Wagholi offers in-person consultation and leech therapy sittings.
The therapy

What Leech Therapy Is

A medicinal leech attaches with a tiny bite, draws a small amount of blood, and drops off by itself once full. Its saliva releases hirudin, which stops clotting locally, and substances that calm inflammation. The effect is local: a congested, swollen, inflamed area is decongested. Ayurveda describes this as removing vitiated Rakta from the site, and classes it as the gentlest form of Raktamokshana.

Every leech is used once, for one patient. Expect small bite marks that ooze for some hours, itch for a few days and fade over weeks. Prolonged bleeding, a local infection and allergy are uncommon, and they are the reason for the screening and the aftercare instructions.

Cost

Cost

Leech therapy costs Rs 500 per leech, per sitting. A small, local problem needs two to four leeches, and a larger area needs more. The online consultation and any Ayurvedic Medicine advised are charged separately, and all charges are confirmed before you decide.
