Medical leeches
Medical leech HIRUDO MEDICINALIS A leech is a “mini-factory”. The diverse effects of the medical leech make it possible to treat a wide range of diseases. The leech bites the skin a few millimeters deep and begins to inject its saliva into the wound. The leech’s saliva contains the enzyme hirudin, which causes the blood to lose its thickness and make it more fluid and have a better flow ability. Therefore, placing leeches is good and suitable for people with a high tendency to form blood clots. Another substance found in the leech’s saliva secretion – disstabilose – can dissolve existing clots. This property of leech saliva is used in the treatment of venous thrombosis. Leech treatment is excellent for relieving pain and inflammatory processes because its saliva contains painkillers, anti-inflammatory and bactericidal substances. Another property of leech saliva is to strengthen the body’s immune system. With the help of an enzyme – hyaluronized – leech saliva penetrates deep tissues and acts within the foci of inflammation, benign tumors and desired treatment sites. Lipolytic enzymes are also found in leech saliva. They cause the breakdown of fats and lower cholesterol levels. The use of leeches allows for the treatment of atherosclerosis and obesity, and as already mentioned above. The substances secreted by leech saliva improve the body's metabolism, rejuvenate it and have wide use in the cosmetics industry.
