The classical treatment of Puyalasa includes Raktamokshana (bloodletting) , Upnaha (poultice), Vimardana (pressing) , and Vimlapana (massage) . This paper focuses on both the conceptual and clinical aspects of Puyalasa according to different Ayurvedic texts and the efficacy of Ayurvedic modilities to treat Puyalasa.
