This method of healing entirely undeservedly forgotten, now finds its second birth. The founder of this method – Nikander of Colophon (200 – 130gg.BC) the authors of the first books on the treatment was Hippocrates, Galen, Avicenna.

The therapeutic effect of hirudotherapy

The beneficial effect of cleansing the blood by leeches is formed from several factors: reflex, mechanical and biological.

A reflex action of leech therapy: leech bites through the skin in biologically active points (acupuncture point). A similar effect can be obtained with acupuncture. The principle of operation is manifested in the discharge of regional blood flow. Biological effects provided by the leech saliva, which contains a lot of biologically active substances.

Hirudin slows down blood clotting, not only in the site of the bite, and throughout the circulatory system.

If capacity with hungry leeches to pour a little blood, they will startthe front end to move quickly and look for a place where to stick. And leeches, used in medicine, feel even the smell of the skin of those creatures, whose blood they drink. Again, in a container of leeches, if you throw two tubes, one of them held in the hands or under the arm, people can see how they will attach it to the cork.

But leeches don't like strong-smelling substances and are trying to escape from them by flight. For this reason, before a session of hirudotherapy is not advised to use perfumes, deodorants or other scented substances. Before leech to put in the right place the doctor rubs it with alcohol and then wash it, otherwise the leech does not attach itself to the right place, and crawls.
