How Leech Therapy works for Varicose Veins?

  • The leech bites the skin and feeds on the congested, stagnant blood from the superficial veins around the affected area.
  • This directly releases pressure from the pooled blood, providing immediate relief from the feeling of heaviness, tension, and throbbing pain.
  • Hyaluronidase: An "spreading factor" that helps the other salivary enzymes penetrate deep into the tissue around the vein.
  • Calin: Another anticoagulant that inhibits platelet aggregation, further preventing clot formation and maintaining blood flow.

  • Persistent Pain: Constant aching, throbbing, or a burning sensation that disrupts daily activities and sleep.
  • A sensation of Heat: The legs, particularly around the veins, feel unnaturally warm to the touch.
  • The Elderly: As tissue and vessel elasticity naturally decline with age.
