Viddha karma is a type of Panchakarma therapy in Ayurveda, which involves the use of medicinal substances to cleanse the body by administering them through incisions or punctures in the skin. It’s also known as therapeutic bloodletting or blood purification therapy.
Benefits of Viddha karma may include:
- Removal of toxins from the blood.
- Balancing of doshas (bioenergies) in the body.
- Treatment of various chronic diseases like skin disorders, joint disorders, and certain metabolic disorders.
However, like any medical procedure, Viddha karma also has potential side effects and risks, such as:
- Infection at the site of incision or puncture.
- Excessive bleeding.
- Bruising and swelling.
- Potential for allergic reactions to medicinal substances used.
It’s crucial to undergo Viddha karma under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to minimize risks and ensure proper care before, during, and after the procedure.
