Application of medicinal leeches is an ancient form of therapy, which has extraordinary benefits, backed by modern science. Utilised in Australian hospitals for years, it’s now available in private practice.

Leech therapy is extremely safe, has virtually no contraindications and can be used on most people from small children to the elderly.

Once considered an obscure practice from the middle ages, hirudotherapy is now enjoying a resurgence, thanks to scientists discovering incredible therapeutic properties of medicinal leeches.

The leeches at our clinic are supplied by a dedicated facility, where leeches are especially grown for medical use. They’re used once only, and after treatment are put to sleep humanely. This is essential to ensure no contamination occurs.

Leech bites are usually painless due to the analgesic compounds in leech saliva. Hundreds of other bio active compounds which the leech introduces into the patient’s blood stream improve blood flow, tissue regeneration, oxygenation, reduce blood pressure etc.

Leeches are used very successfully for varicose veins, migraines, hypertension, arthritis and other inflammatory muscle and joint disorders, and many many others. Please book in a free discovery call to discuss if leech therapy can help you.
