Leeches release their saliva into the bite site during blood sucking. This contains a variety of helpful ingredients. Among other things, anti-inflammatory and local anticoagulant substances are released. This stimulates the metabolism and has an analgesic effect.
Areas of application include:
- arthrotic diseases (shell, spar, etc.)
- Ligament and tendon disorders
- Pressure sores and galls
- tension
- wound healing
- eczema
- abscesses
- Inflammation (laminitis, hoof roll, etc.)
The leech treatment takes between one and two hours. Because of the anticoagulant substances from the saliva, bleeding occurs for a few hours. Before the leech therapy, some conditions need to be clarified (medication, blood clotting disorder, etc.). If you are interested, just contact me.
