The efficacy and function of leeches

There are many kinds of medicines in life, and different medicines have some differences in the treatment of diseases. Therefore, we can choose them appropriately according to our own disease needs. In the process of disease treatment, we also need to follow the doctor's advice, which will be of great help to the improvement of the disease. Especially for difficult-to-treat diseases, we need to pay attention to this point. What are the effects and functions of leeches?

Leeches have many functions and effects, so when choosing them, you need to know something about them, so that they can be of great help in the treatment of diseases, prevent the diseases from developing further, and not harm your health.

The efficacy and function of leeches:

1. Leeches have multiple medicinal functions. Leeches, commonly known as leeches, also known as money leeches, have multiple medicinal functions. For example, there is a kind of hirudin in leech saliva, which can inhibit the activity of thrombin and prevent fibrinogen from forming fibrinogen, thereby inhibiting the formation of blood clots; ancient medicine uses leeches to suck pus and blood from trauma patients to achieve the purpose of clearing blood stasis; Chinese internal medicine soaks the dried insect bodies into medicine to treat lumps, blood stasis, amenorrhea, and contusions. Further research in modern medicine has shown that leeches are effective in preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and fighting cancer. In recent years, the number of Chinese patent medicines for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases prepared with leeches has gradually increased.

2. It is relatively easy to breed leeches artificially. Leeches are highly adaptable, resistant to hunger, and have extremely strong disease resistance. Artificial leech breeding is not restricted by regional conditions and can be raised in ponds, pits, tanks, barrels, etc. Plankton in the water, small insects, snails, river clams, animal blood clots, earthworms, humus on the soil, etc. can all be used as feed, and they can be fed once a week. It has the characteristics of not taking up any labor, simple and extensive breeding and management, low feed cost, high reproduction rate, being silent, odorless and pollution-free, requiring little investment and showing quick results.

3. The market prospect of leech breeding is promising. With the further aging of the population, the increase in the number of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients, and people's preference for traditional Chinese medicine products, the demand for leeches will further increase. As the contradiction between supply and demand becomes increasingly serious, prices continue to rise. The market prospects for leech farming are broad.

Through the above introduction, we have some understanding of the effects and functions of leeches, so we can choose it with confidence. However, we also need to pay attention to the method of use in the process of disease treatment, otherwise it will not be of any help to the patient's disease, so we need to pay attention to this point.
