Leech therapy, also known as hirudotherapy, is a form of alternative medicine that dates back thousands of years. It involves the use of medicinal leeches to treat various health conditions. During the therapy, leeches are applied to specific areas of the body where they attach and feed on blood. As they feed, leeches secrete saliva containing anticoagulants and other bioactive substances that can help improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. This therapy is often used in conjunction with modern medical treatments for conditions such as poor circulation, chronic pain, and certain skin disorders. Despite its historical roots, leech therapy has gained renewed interest in recent years for its potential benefits in modern medical practices, particularly in reconstructive and plastic surgery to help reestablish blood flow to transplanted tissues.
