24.01.2022 Leech therapy for varicose dermatitis of the lower leg. The combination of drawing out stagnant blood and injecting 14 bioactive chemicals through the leech saliva has decongesting and anti inflammatory effects.

23.01.2022 Leeching for migraines. The medicines contained in the leech saliva work to dilate blood vessels and increase blood circulation. This allows fresh oxygen rich blood to innervate painful areas that were previously starved of oxygen.

21.01.2022 Leeching for tendonitis Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow are common forms of tendonitis that frequently respond poorly to the usual conservative treatment attempts. The typical course of the disease is characterized by relapses upon resumption of the trigger activity and increasing functional restriction of the arm. Leech therapy often takes effect within a few days and it achives a significant and longer lasting improvement of symptoms than conventional therapies. Leeches are placed directly over the inflamed area and surrounding tissues. Leech saliva contains a powerful cocktail of anti- inflammatories and anticoagulants that treat the inflammation and improve blood circulation of the affected tendons.

16.01.2022 Leeching for chronic health problems: This patient in her 60's has leech therapy on a monthly basis. She reports a normalisation of her blood pressure and blood sugar levels from previously high levels.

16.01.2022 Leeching for advanced osteoarthritis. A 2008 study conducted on 113 patients with advanced osteoarthritis of the knee showed a significant reduction of pain from only 1 - 2 leech treatments. The results were monitored over a 26 week period and showed long- term reduction of joint stiffness and improved function in the activities of daily living.

16.01.2022 Hirudo therapy for chronic pain in the calf muscles. The vasodilation and anticoagulation effect of the treatment allows stagnant blood to be removed and fresh, oxygen rich blood to reach the lower extremities again.

11.01.2022 A cocoon of leech babies waiting to hatch. After the male leech has deposited its sperm into the pouch of the female, she will produce a cocoon. A foamy protein based substance will harden and form a nutritious sponge layer around the eggs. After fifteen days the mother will bite a small hole into the cocoon to allow the 8-10 babies to hatch. Their first meal will be the cocoon.
