A Guide for Physicians. The book, written by an authoritative team of authors, sums up 10 years of work in the revival of hirudotherapy as a method of treatment. Among specialists, this period is assessed as a leech Renaissance. It has been established that complex hirudotherapy programs, in which, in addition to leeches, other natural methods are used (cleansing, manual and vacuum therapy, beekeeping products, clay, and others) reliably increase the effectiveness of standard approaches in clinical medicine.
