The enzyme orgelase found in leech saliva clears the inside of veins blocked by clots in varicose disease, improves their patency, opens the lumen of small vessels and prevents blood stasis.
1In which cases is it used successfully?
- Varicose veins
- Gynecological conditions — fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Cervical degenerative disc disease (osteochondrosis) and degenerative disc disease of all parts of the spine
- Rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis (polyarthritis) — rapidly reduces both pain and joint swelling
- Skin conditions — trophic ulcers, psoriasis, eczema, scleroderma
Applying leeches prevents diseases such as sclerosis, as well as spasm of the cerebral blood vessels, improves blood circulation in the brain, and sharpens memory and attention.
2Cosmetic use
With the leech’s enzymes, the facial skin is rejuvenated, nourished and looks fresher, and a natural lifting effect is created. It is one of the methods especially suited to oily skin — it reduces subcutaneous breakouts (within 1–5 sessions) and removes fine expression lines.
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
