Summary of article contents:

The Father of Surgery, Acharya Sushruta, described several surgical and parasurgical techniques for maintaining a person's proper health as well as for curing a wide range of diseases. Raktamokshana is one of them, which is used to treat various illnesses caused by RaktaDushti . Raktamokshana can be used as the first line of treatment for all diseases, as according to Astanga Sangraha, Rakta is the main Dushya ( AashryaSthana ) in all disorders. Among various methods of Raktamokshana , Shringa Yantra is a classic Raktamokshana technique used for curing mainly Vataja Rakta Dushti illnesses. The Shringa Yantra can help in the removal of Rakta Dushti by using a variety of mechanisms, such as bringing the Panchmahabhootas (elements) of Rakta Dhatu into balanced state, which is responsible for the various physiological functions of Rakta Dhatu when present in a balanced state, by the action of its properties, by eliminating Srotas Dushti , etc. So, an effort has been made in this paper to highlight the likely mode of action of Raktamokshana by Shringa Yantra , based on both Ayurvedic and contemporary explanations.
