What is Hirudotherapy?
Hirudo Therapy or leech therapy has been used in medicine since the times of Ancient Egypt. We see the revival of this method nowadays because of its simple and inexpensive application. It is great for wellness and anti-ageing treatment being a multifunctional regenerating means.

Nature's Alternative to Chemical Healing
Leech therapy affects the body at the level of microcirculation and it consists of three factors: reflectory, mechanical, and biological:
-
The mechanical effect uses the principle of therapeutic phlebotomy (blood-letting). At some loss of blood, it relieves blood flow, cleans out vessels, and regulates the pressure. The renewed blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to the damaged or inflamed area. Due to this, the swelling decreases and pain are relieved.
-
The reflectory effect can be compared to that of dry needling (acupuncture). A leech bites through the skin only in bioactive (acupuncture) points that are connected to various body organs and systems.
-
The biological effect of hirudin (leech enzyme) is available within the next 3 months after the procedure. During this time, clots are dispersed, red blood cells are replaced by new ones, and the blood is rejuvenated.
Application
The application is very straightforward. Live leeches get attached to the specific area and draw blood from it. Within this process, they release peptides and proteins that thin blood. That prevents the death of tissues because of the increased blood circulation in them. In that way, they can heal a lot of diseases and restore your well-being and beauty.
Natural Healing, Powerful Results
Up to 100 bioactive agents are injected into the body during each run, the efficacy of this method is amazing.
The positive effects of Hirudo Therapy are numerous. Among them, we can point out:
-
diminishing risks of thrombosis and swelling;
-
reactivation of blood flow in tissue and organs;
-
lymph-draining, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects;
-
immune and cardiovascular system improvement due to tissue supply with nutrients and oxygen;
-
metabolism and cholesterol level recovery.
The list of issues and disorders that can be treated, healed and improved by leech therapy are endless. You can undergo this procedure if you want to boost your wellbeing and stay healthy and active for long.
Cosmetology
Hirudotherapy has no peers in cosmetology. It is second to none in facelifting and tackling hair loss and even baldness.
It can also help people who risk losing their soft tissues during different plastic surgery procedures. Leech saliva contains secretion rich in proteins and peptides that can fight blood clots. Blood is promoted to wounds and heals them.
When used for healing wounds after facial reconstructive surgery, leeches increase the positive effects of nose, forehead, cheek, breast, and toes and fingers reconstruction. The body recovers completely and more naturally in this way.
Beyond Synthetic Medicine
There are many cases when leech therapy is very useful apart from plastic surgery. For example, it helps avoid limb amputations as a result of diabetes as well as promote better blood flow for those who suffer from heart disease.
This method can also be administered to those who suffer from varicose veins and blood clots.
The leech saliva contains chemicals that are helpful in hypertension, arthritis, haemorrhoids, skin problems, and varicose veins. Recent studies have shown a good effect in osteoarthritis because leech saliva has anaesthetic and anti-inflammatory characteristics.
