Chikitsaa Prakaara: Ghat`ee Yantra

Prakaara Paribhaashaa:
Blood letting done with the help of a small Ghat`a (pitcher).

Poorvakarma (Prerequisites):
Patient preparation:
Prachchhaana Karma is done before.

Pradhaanakarma:

The procedure is based on the principle of cupping.
The Ghat`ee should be completely evacuated from inside.
A coin is kept over the incisions and then a lighted candle is kept over this coin.
Then the Ghat`ee is kept over this candle.
The candle gets doused to generate vacuum inside the Ghat`ee. Due to this the blood gets sucked inside the Ghat`ee.
The procedure should be stopped after 10 to 15 minutes.
Then the Ghat`ee should be separated forcefully.

Other Description:
Ghat`ee Yantra should not be used for blood letting of vitiated blood due to Pitta Dosha.
