Why are leeches used in Ayurveda?

Answer»

a. Leeches are used in blood purification therapy to treat many diseases as they suck impure blood from the affected site of the patient’s body. 

b. The anticoagulant – hirudin present in saliva of leech, inhibits the coagulation of blood and makes blood thinner. This dissolves the clots found in vessels and facilitates the blood supply.
