What is hirudotherapy (leech therapy)?
Hirudotherapy uses medicinal leeches (Hirudo medicinalis) to deliver bioactive substances — including hirudin (an anticoagulant), hyaluronidase, and anti-inflammatory enzymes — directly into the bloodstream. This traditional therapy supports circulatory health, reduces localised inflammation, and assists the body’s natural detoxification processes. It is used for conditions ranging from varicose veins to chronic pain and inflammatory disorders.
