Leech therapy, also known as hirudo therapy, involves the medicinal use of leeches to evacuate blood from localized body areas, primarily to treat various health conditions. Historically used since ancient Egypt, it is supported by notable scholars, and contemporary research highlights its benefits, including pain relief and improved circulation due to leech saliva's anticoagulant properties. While effective for numerous ailments, it is contraindicated in specific health conditions and should be performed under diligent medical supervision.
