Reviving Ancient Wisdom: Exploring the Effectiveness of Jalaukavacharan in Pain Management and Wound Healing-A Case Series.
Background: Wound infections are a common complication of trauma or pathological disorders, posing significant treatment challenges. Historical medical texts describe around 60 procedures to facilitate wound healing, ensure proper tissue approximation, and achieve scar-free recovery. Among these, techniques involving bloodletting have proven particularly effective. One such method, leech therapy, is a biological debridement technique that supports wound cleaning and healing through controlled bloodletting. This minimally invasive and cost-effective therapy improves circulation, reduces local swelling, and enhances wound healing by removing infected or congested blood. Additionally, anticoagulants and bioactive substances in leech saliva help with inflammation reduction, wound cleaning, and tissue regeneration. With high efficacy in cleansing and repairing wounds, leech therapy is invaluable in treating infected or chronic wounds. Its simplicity, safety, and effectiveness make it an accessible therapeutic option for healthcare settings. Leech salivary gland secretions (SGS) contain over 150 bioactive ingredients like Hyaluronidase, Hirustasin, Eglins, and Bdellins, which have analgesic, anaesthetic, anti-microbial, blood-thinning, and anti-inflammatory properties, which collaboratively work in favour of wound healing and pain management.
Aims and objectives: To evaluate the impact of Jalaukavcharan (blood-letting) on wound healing and pain relief. This study aims to present an evidence-based practice of leech therapy in the form of a case series.
Material and methods: Four patients with infected wounds, including some with non-healing wounds.
Results: All the patients showed steady improvement in wound healing and pain management.
Conclusion: Jalaukavacharan, combined with oral antibiotics and herbal medications, exhibits notable efficacy in wound healing within wound management protocols, showcasing remarkable effects on the overall healing process.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
