Leeching Technoque


I have been to a treatment by an old technique: Leeching. It is a great technique to get rid of stagnant blood, to improve blood circulation everywhere in the body, to clean the liver, and other organs. The treatment consists of putting the leeches on parts of the body that should be treated. It takes some while before the leech detach from the body, and the spot where it has worked continue to bleed for a while. I feel a significant difference after treating my liver. My digestion is much better. Some even use it for artery cleaning. Some report that even damaged arteries of the heart don't need to be replaced when damaged, as the leeches are capable of repairing the damaged spot, cleaning it from clots of blood and accumulated grease.

This is what I found as an explanation on leeches in Wikipedia: "Leeches are segmented worms that belong to the phylum annelida and comprise the subclass Hirudinea.[1] Like other oligochetes such as earthworms, leeches share a clitellum and are hermaphrodites. Nevertheless, they differ from other oligocheates in significant ways. For example, leeches do not have bristles and the external segmentation of their bodies does not correspond with the internal segmentation of their organs. Their bodies are much more solid as the spaces in their coelom are dense with connective tissues. They also have two suckers, with each sucker located at the end of each animal.

The majority of leeches live in freshwater environments, while some species can be found in terrestrial[2] and marine environments as well. Most leeches are hematophagous as they are predominantly blood suckers that feed on blood from vertebrate and invertebrate animals[3]

Leeches such as the Hirudo medicinalis, have been historically used in medicine to remove blood from patients.[4] The practice of leeching can be traced to Ancient India and Greece and has continued well into the 18th and 19th centuries in both Europe and North America. In modern times, the practice of leeching is much rarer and has been replaced by other contemporary uses of leeches such as the reattachment of body parts as well as reconstructive and plastic surgeries."
