A few tips on how to, How to use leeches for medicinal purposes.

Primarily, you need to make sure, that they are viable.

The benignity of leeches and their suitability from the outset are evaluated by external data. The best are considered to be medicinal leech, and then pharmacy, that stick is slower, but make the wound deeper, causing more bleeding. Choose leeches on their physiological state, on which, in turn, significant influence of conditions of detention.

Buy leech, and selecting for consoles, should every time to take into account their age, value, State of health. For Example, not all leeches in the Bank, as in reservoir, are in the same State of wakefulness, but they should not still lie at the bottom of the, collapsed in a tangle, and not in a circle. Some of them are extracted, Despite the situation of, extremely mobile, respond quickly to most mild irritation; other, conversely, may be severely reduced or even swirling on the ventral side of the situation, in a deep state of relaxation and even sleep. But, the figures in the movement, they are with no less promptness and energy, than the first, begin to swim. Even the movement can recognize their suitability: the best of them, floating, being stretched, made very gonkimi, červeobraznymi and at the same time greatly reduced. Ring them quickly call one to another and apart again (calm see rings absolutely convergent each other, as if between them generally no gaps). Backrest such leeches much more convex, abdomen flat. The tip of the head — stigma when driving is done with a thin, bearing cone type. As the rear circle, both suckers knobby, with notches, that the reduced, increases the, especially when unstable leech.

True signs of perfectly healthy condition leech attached to an empty or malonasyŝennom the stomach and its capacity for krovososaniû are as follows:

• Mobility while shaking capacity of animals;
• The position of the rings, the elasticity of the body, more flat, rather than convex shape;
• The presence of pronounced reflex twisting when touched. The more leech is collapsed on itself, It is stronger. Under your fingers, she takes the form of olives or small cucumbers, clearly felt a significant force reductions in body, its elasticity, Unlike the elasticity of softness, happiness, rasplastannosti and lethargy unhealthy saturated or leech, with slow movements. She never stretched at full length, and the gaps between the rings its always very âvstvenny;
• Released in a jar with a little water leeches no longer than half an hour climb up the sides of the vessel and there are placed;
• Released from the water on a hard surface, They quickly creep, clinging to the plane of the front and rear suction cups-mugs;
• If your bank arm deleted leech, they immediately oblepât it and will begin to bite.

Where to install the leeches? With modern medical approaches these issues do not represent special complexity. Leech stick to all parts of the body, excluding the palms and soles. All corny just: that hurts — on spot and put a leech. The bulk of the doctors should be the common principle is to provide a prefix for the body area of the leech, which should influence for medicinal purposes (the back of the head, Noga, heart, liver, etc.).

Some authors recommend that before using leeches after removing them from the reservoir wipe cloth (We believe, that this will irritate them and make the console). It is useful to have on hand a double amount of leeches against required for use, so that they can be manipulated, considering, that different leech differently stick to the skin of the patient. Not to spend extra time, you have to remove them from the spare cans with water and place it in an empty or directly into the vessel (Cup, tube), from which they will be to the human skin.
