Dr. Prashant Rathod, an Ayurveda physician, introduced a Doppler‑guided leech therapy protocol as a minimally invasive alternative for varicose veins.
The therapy uses medicinal leeches to remove stagnant blood, deliver hirudin anticoagulation, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation without hospitalization.
Over 13 years, Rathod treated more than 2,000 patients, reporting significant improvements including Grade 4 valve insufficiency reversal in some cases.
The press release highlights cost‑effectiveness, rapid recovery, and growing recognition among healthcare professionals, positioning the method as a paradigm shift in phlebology.
