Leech Therapy —Sounds scary, but there’s proof it could help — a lot

Hirudo-therapy ( in Latin - leech therapy ) ancient method of treatment used more in the ancient world , and was used by the pharaohs, kings. Prior to joining so beloved by modern medicine antibiotics and hormones Hirudotherapy firmly held its very important place in medicine. This is truly a natural treatment that cures any pathology and at the same time rejuvenates and revitalizes the entire body. It is known that the day before the prom ladies in Europe put leeches to rejuvenate the skin and refresh the complexion.

After Medical Academy being neurologist applied knowledge of traditional medicine in their practices (in particular, acupuncture and moxibustion ) . One day I found that the statement of leeches to the point where I usually put a needle or cauterized the grass yields more meaningful results. After graduating from a specialized course in 1997 I became, along with acupuncture use of medicinal leeches in the treatment of patients. I then began to apply the so-called "Hirudopunktura" (statement of leeches on the active points of the body , known Asian medicine) and not just a statement of leeches on the liver and sore spots, as it was practiced in the majority of cases. Focus on Hirudopunktura still forms the basis of my practice.

First of all, do not be afraid to leech bite. Sensations at the console leech bite like a mosquito, and then do not feel at all, select the area as an anesthetic substance. It should also be remembered that the leeches - creation, are very sensitive to various odors and to avoid any kind of flavors for the body, including scented soap and cosmetics on the day before the procedure. Treatment time lasts from half an hour to one and a half hours, depending on the effect to be achieved in the course is 7-9 Treatments.1 -2 times a week.

Effect after treatment most often kept from six months to a year. Therefore, it is desirable to leech therapy at least once or twice a year. Leech therapy is often used in patients who have been long standing disease. Typically, they are repeatedly treated in the hospital, so taking large doses of medicine. In this case, of course, medication is not canceled.

But after 3-5 sessions of treatment with leeches in many cases significantly reduced doses of drugs, and by the end of the course Hirudotherapy man remains at the minimum maintenance doses of medication.

I would outlined in the general range of pathology, which uses Hirudotherapy and which has almost no alternatives from other treatments. First - diseases associated with stagnant lymph and blood, and, of course, are observed during this edema. Another wide range of diseases - is a pathology, accompanied by degeneration and even atrophy. In the first case, a leech increases the outflow of interstitial fluid through the lymph and vein, after which normal tissue homeostasis. But in the second case, due to a significant increase in local and overall microcirculation (i.e., increase blood flow to tissues), and as a consequence - increase tissue nutrition and detoxification. Thus, the leech virtually indispensable when you need to quickly and permanently eliminate puffiness, get a draining effect, to restore the microcirculation of blood, to achieve immune stimulation.
