Natural mechanism

Hirudotherapy is a method of treating various human diseases using medical leeches. This is a natural system prepared by nature itself. Giruda is called healing leech, which since ancient times was used for clinical bloodletting. About this treatment in their writings were written by Hippocrates, Avicenna and Galen.
