Leeches Are The Best Medicine
The application of leeches is one of history's oldest recorded medical treatments. Their use can be documented as far back as ancient Egypt; and their application was standard medical practice until the mid 1800s when newer therapies took their place. Tthe use of medicinal leeches has once again entered the mainstream of modern medical practice. Researchers and surgeons are enthusiastic about the advantages of leech therapy as a means to restore venous blood circulation following cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.
