What are some uses for medicinal leeches??


Answers: Leeches can help heal skin grafts and restore blood circulation. Their primary function is to drain blood. Pooled blood around a wound can threaten tissue survival.
Leeches apply the perfect amount of suction to get the blood flowing
Promotion of blood circulation to an area that needs it or to sift poisons that may have entered the body at the point of suciton.
A quick glance at Google shows a host of sources for an answer to this query. In a nutshell: leeches are blood suckers, and are used to relive an unhealthy accumulation of blood in tissues after surgery, particularly plastic surgery. Their bite infuses the area with an anticoagulant so that even after they stop feeding and drop off, the tissue still benefits from the application. For more detail, I suggest you apply a Google search.
