Leech therapy
Discover the natural healing power of leeches!
The healing effect of the leech results from the body’s reaction to the bite of the leech, the active sucking process of the leech as well as the active substances of the leech and the subsequent process of elimination.
In leech therapy, physical, reflex and biochemical effects interact and are mutually dependent. This centuries-old therapy is therefore far more than just a method of elimination and cannot be compared with any other naturopathic procedure.
