Leech therapy has an extensive range of use in various fields of medicine compared to conventional pharmacological and interventional treatment modalities.
The Leech saliva contains over 500 different Bioactive Substances that exert a manifold pharmacological effect on the host.
The saliva of Medical Leeches can penetrate deep enough to exert significant effects on periarticular myofascial structures and on the intraarticular structure to promote profound and long-lasting benefits to your health.
Hirudo Leech therapy is not based on a single mechanism of action but on a combination of multiple effects meaning that Leech saliva is a highly efficient and highly complex trait of Leeches.
