How is Medical Leech Therapy Applied?
Boost Your Immunity with Leech Therapy
Medical leech therapy, applied in the treatment of many physical and spiritual illnesses, should be performed by trained doctors. If done unconsciously and if the same leeches are used on several patients, the person can both get infected and contract contagious diseases. Before the application, the doctor examines the person and, after deciding to proceed, leeches are placed on the acupuncture points where the treatment should be applied. The leeches, which start to suck impure blood, detach from the body on their own when they stop sucking blood. In the first 24 hours, minor discomforts such as slight bleeding or itching may occur at the points where the leeches were placed. Water should not come into contact with the treated areas for one day.
Are There Any Side Effects?
This treatment, which opens vascular blockages and dissolves blood clots, regulates blood circulation. Thus, blood reaches all organs regularly. As the organs start to function more easily, your body relaxes. By ensuring the removal of toxins from the blood and helping the blood to oxygenate, this application rapidly strengthens your body's immunity. It ensures resistance against flu, common cold, pneumonia, sinusitis, and all febrile illnesses. It can be easily applied to everyone, except for individuals using medication and those in very advanced age. Caution should be exercised as the person may contract an infection if done unconsciously and if the same leeches are used repeatedly.
