LEECH THERAPY

Leech therapy: The comeback of a millennia-old healing method

This form of treatment is one of the oldest and most traditional in medicine. Nowadays, leeches are making a comeback. In the past, they were only used for localized bloodletting. 

In the meantime, the effect of saliva has been discovered and researched. Today
leeches are valued for the effect of their saliva. They are used for numerous chronic diseases and in reconstructive surgery.

MECHANISM OF ACTION OF THE LEECH
The secret of the success of treatment with leeches lies in the animals' saliva secretion. It contains numerous substances with a healing effect. Several mechanisms of action of leeches are now known:

  • The anticoagulant effect can lead to improved flow properties of the blood.
    blood, especially if it is thickened.
  • By influencing the inner wall of blood vessels and certain blood cells, blood clotting (thrombosis) can be prevented.
    Existing blood clots can dissolve.
  • The gel treatment has a pain-relieving effect. Clinical studies show a
    High success rate for knee and thumb saddle osteoarthritis.
  • Leeches can drain and detoxify the human body.
  • Every egg treatment is a small loss of blood, which our body responds to by stimulating the production of new blood. This regeneration is very good training for the bone marrow.
