Changes in the external environment brings various changes in the human body that causes various diseases, protection from whom requires a continuous conscious effort. These changes with their adaptation has been mentioned in Ayurvedic Samhita’s. This study aims to understand and check the curative and preventive relevance of one such Regimen of Sharad Ritu (~Autumn season) namely Raktamokshanam (~blood letting) as mentioned in classical texts of Ayurveda  in context to Modern day problems. To fulfil this aim texts from Shushrut Samhita were considered to understand the basic principles of Raktamokshanam it’s subtypes and it’s application procedure. Also various research works were taken into consideration after excluding others (because of them being animal, invitro studies etc) to understand the impact of different seasons on diseases (here allergic rhinitis, hypertension, eczema, psoriasis, chicken pox and GERD are considered) and also impact of these diseases were seen on various haematological parameters of body which helped in developing the understanding of how Raktamokshanam can be used to treat them. The conclusion made is that Raktamokshanam  can be done in Sharad Ritu (~Autumn season) to protect the body from seasonal variations. Within Raktamokshanam, Jalaukavcharana  is considered best because of it’s painless application, it’s use in extremely delicate patients, it’s anti-inflammatory effect, anti-coagulatory effect, vasodilator effect etc.
