Hirudotherapy \u2013 natural healing with leeches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the procedure, the leech secretes a unique complex of enzymes and biologically active substances that initiate the body's cleansing and restoration processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal of hirudotherapy<\/strong> \u2013 improving blood quality. Blood <\/strong>- this is the basis of health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the blood flow becomes viscous, dirty and slow, it leads to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • high blood pressure,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • varicose veins,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • hemorrhoids,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • headaches and vascular spasms,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • oxygen starvation of the heart and cells.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Only clean and fluid blood can carry sufficient oxygen, nutrients, and energy to organs and tissues, so the functioning of all organs directly depends on the quality of the blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
