At Paramparagat, we offer a unique and effective treatment called Leech Therapy, also known as Medicinal Leech Therapy (MLT) or Hirudotherapy. This ancient practice, rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, utilizes the healing properties of medicinal leeches to treat a variety of health conditions.
Medicinal leeches, such as Hirudo medicinalis, secrete a complex mixture of bioactive substances in their saliva while feeding. These substances, including hirudin, calin, hyaluronidase, histamine-like substances, and acetylcholine, have potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain-relieving), and anticoagulant properties When applied to the skin, the leeches draw blood and release these substances into the bloodstream. This process helps improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.
