HIRUDOTHERAPY -- MEDICAL LEECH THERAPY

Leeches in Non-Invasive Therapy

 In the recent years, non-invasive leech-treatments are done by certified hirudotherapists, specially trained MDs and nurses. They use Hirudo Medicinalis (Hirudo means Leech in Latin), European and Oriental Leeches, for treatments without surgical instruments, placing leeches externally on certain parts of the body. When dealing with hirudotherapy, an individual approach, the specific kind and number of treatments, number of leeches and intervals between each treatment, has been established for each patient and their diseases.

Leech saliva contains several bioactive substances, including anti-cooaggulants, blood-thinner, vaso-dilators, anesthetics and antybiotics (ex.chloromycetyna). Ex.:Hirudin, a potent anticoagulant in leech saliva, inhibits the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, preventing blood from clotting. Hirudin produced by leeches is 10 times more effective then Heparin, commonly use in pharmacology anticoagulant.

 The main principle of medicine is “Do not harm”. As with any other method of healing, only a professional can apply leeches properly. Leech therapy is a very effective method that has indications and contradictions, but it can also be  dangerous if not done by a professional.

*The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the first time cleared the commercial marketing of Medicinal Leeches for medicinal purposes and determined that leeches are medical devices because they meet the definition of a medical device. (Act  of June 28, 2004). *
