Leech Medicine

We are a Hirudotherapy clinic dedicated to the treatment of patients with a variety of diseases.

🧬 Leech therapy for facial scarring? Yes, really. Medicinal leeches improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and help clear out damaged tissue—supporting faster, more natural skin regeneration. Especially effective in areas where scar tissue makes healing difficult. 🌿🩸

When varicose veins are diffused, treatment becomes more complex. In this case, pain levels dropped significantly within two weeks from moderate discomfort to much more manageable levels. 🦵

For a single, isolated vein, relief can sometimes last months. With widespread venous congestion, improvement may last two to three weeks but for many patients, even that level of pain reduction is meaningful. Supporting circulation is often worth it.

Severe tissue damage in the foot can be devastating, especially when circulation is compromised. 🩸 In this case, we focused on improving local blood flow and reducing inflammatory pressure. The visible improvement over time has been remarkable.

Leech therapy works by supporting circulation and delivering bioactive compounds that help the body restore balance. Every case is different, but when blood flow improves, healing has a chance.

🦵 Knee osteoarthritis can make even simple movements painful. Leech therapy helps by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and easing joint stiffness. Many clients report significant relief after just a few sessions—feeling lighter, moving easier, and regaining function without invasive procedures. 🌿🩸

Living with knee osteoarthritis often means swelling, stiffness, and pain that limits daily life. 🦵 Leech therapy offers a natural way to relieve pressure in the joint, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility. Many patients notice real improvement after treatment—sometimes within hours. 🌿🩸

Today we treated alopecia caused by folliculitis. In this condition, the hair follicles become inflamed and stop producing new growth. With leech therapy, we target those areas—reducing inflammation and decompressing the infection site. You can even see the leech working, its peristaltic movements helping stimulate circulation and healing. 🌿🩸

😱 OH NO… the leeches are trying to escape!
They may be little escape artists, but don’t worry—we’ve got them under control. 🪱😂

🪱 Ever wonder how we transfer leeches?
They arrive cooled on ice to keep them calm. Once at the clinic, we gently move them into clean jars filled with pH-balanced, mineral-rich water. Tap water won’t work—it contains chlorine that harms them. That’s why we use a Kangen machine to create the right environment, so our leeches stay healthy and ready for therapy. 🌿💧

🪱 People often ask us: Where do you get your leeches?
We source them from a trusted, certified company on the East Coast. They arrive safely packed on ice, and once they’re here, we carefully transfer them into jars with pH-balanced mineral water from our Kangen machine. This keeps them healthy, active, and ready for therapy. 🌿💧

🪱 Transferring leeches is a delicate process. They arrive cooled down on ice, and once they wake up, we move them gently into their new jars. We use mineral-rich, pH 7 water from our Kangen machine—tap water won’t do, since chlorine can harm them. It’s all about keeping them safe, healthy, and ready for treatments. 🌿💧

🪱 Time to remove the leeches! We use alcohol because leeches don’t like it, which makes them detach safely. This way, we avoid pulling and risking their tiny teeth staying in the skin. Once off, they go into water—though you’ll often see them wriggling around, trying to escape.
