Medicinal Leech Therapy

Medicinal leech therapy has undergone a renaissance in recent years, both in terms of how well the effects of using leeches are understood, and in the discovery of new clinical applications that have resulted in remarkable outcomes. This timely book introduces the basic principles of using leeches in clinical practice, and clearly sets out the methodology and potential applications. Emphasis is given to those areas of medicine where scientific studies have already provided firm evidence of success-treatment of arthrosis and pain is already benefiting from this highly effective therapy.Manfred, Ph.D. Roth is the author of 'Medicinal Leech Therapy', published 2007 under ISBN 9783131435811 and ISBN 313143581X.
