What is Leech Therapy? (Irsal-e-Alaq / Jalaukavacharana)

Leech therapy, also known as Irsal-e-Alaq in Unani medicine or Jalaukavacharana in Ayurveda, is an ancient, natural healing technique that uses medicinal leeches to treat a variety of health conditions.[reference:0]

At KZ Hijama & Leech Therapy Centre in Mahim, Mumbai, we specialise in this time-tested therapy under the expert guidance of Hakeem Kazi Hasan (D.Cu.T. Regd. No. 4073). With over a decade of experience, he has helped numerous patients find relief from chronic ailments using leech therapy.[reference:1]

How Does Leech Therapy Work?

Medicinal leeches are applied to specific areas of the body. As they feed, they release a powerful cocktail of bioactive compounds through their saliva, including:

• Hirudin – a natural anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting[reference:2]
• Anti-inflammatory enzymes – reduce swelling and pain[reference:3]
• Anaesthetic substances – provide natural pain relief[reference:4]
• Vasodilators – improve blood circulation[reference:5]
• Antibacterial & wound-healing agents – promote tissue repair[reference:6]

These secretions help improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, facilitate wound healing, and prevent necrosis[reference:7]. The leeches suck only impure blood, helping to detoxify the body and relieve symptoms naturally.[reference:8]
