LEECH TREATMENT method of treatment using medicinal leeches

Hirudo (lat.) − a leech exercises a complex curative effect on the organism due to the combination of mechanical, biological and reflexive actions.

The reflexive action is caused by the leech attachment to acupuncture points of the human body (i.e. traditional points of needle therapy).

The mechanical impact implies improvement of local blood circulation hence curing the blood supply of the unhealthy organ. Within the 24 hours following the treatment lymph continues oozing and the lymph nodes are activated thus increasing the processing of natural protecting cells – lymphocytes.

The most important and valuable effect consists in the fact that the saliva of leeches contains more than 150 biologically active substances having immunomodulatory, anti-edema, anti-inflammatory, anti-ischemic, draining, anticoagulant (prevents blood clots), thrombolytic, antihypoxic (nourishes tissue with oxygen), lipolytic, overall reflexive, resolving, rejuvenating action impact on the body.
