Bloodletting is the removal of impure blood from the body it can be done by a number of space and leech therapy is one of the natural ways of bloodletting. Now where is the leech therapy useful but before that the types of leeches. As we know snakes are poisonous and nonpoisonous, similarly leeches are poisonous leeches and non-poisonous leeches. Leeches are what we use for our treatment are of course Nonpoisonous leeches but one has to really understand and they have to see and in which leeches you are apply because if you apply poisonous leech instead of a remedy leech itself becomes the source of infection. So you should understand what type of leeches you are applying. Leeches they survival in bottle now when we use leeches we keep them in glass container and there are some holes and leeches have two end, one end it what it takes the support, right now it taken the support, the circular end where it takes the support and the head part so this we have to just apply it and wherever there is impure blood the leeches they just stick over there and then start taking the impure blood this suck around 5ml to 50ml of blood and once you feel maybe in 40 minutes 45 minutes that’s the leech therapy is completed you can just sprinkles and turmeric on the leeches so the leeches may come out but even after the treatment is over though you have to take care of the patient we have to take care of the leeches as well, for the patients you can clean those parts on Bandit it but for the leeches you have to do vomiting of the impure blood from the leeches for that you have to keep the leech in the turmeric water just apply some turmeric on the head part and try to hold it the leeches they puke out the whole blood then leeches are inactive for 7 days. The same leech can be applied to the same patient but the same leech should not be applied to the other people.

Now where all we can use this leech therapy. Basically what the leeches do. The Saliva of the leeches they have lots of enzymes out of lots of enzymes hirudin is one of the anticoagulant what leeches have so when leeches are applied fibrin is not converted into fibrinogen and that part is losing out blood and the blood circulation to that part increases, now keeping this factor in the mind, leeches can be applied in to boldness, because people with less hair they don’t have a blood circulation over their it can be used to increase
the blood circulation. Secondly for diabetic’s foot, diabetics gangrene there is already less blood supply there so leeches can be applied over there.
