Would the therapy be suitable for someone with mild varicose veins who prefers to avoid compression stockings?

The mention of using manjishtha and sariva alongside leech sessions makes sense for supporting overall blood purification.

A clear step by step description of the procedure helps demystify the process, especially the warning against pulling a feeding leech.

The fact that the therapy is FDA cleared for reconstructive surgery yet still viewed with alarm by many patients is interesting.

Reading about the Indian Journal of Surgery trial made me curious about the long term results beyond six weeks.

What's the aftercare protocol after a session? The wound site care section seemed brief.

The idea of using turmeric water to make the leech regurgitate before reuse seems like a smart safety step.

Thanks!

Does the cooling effect of leeches really help pitta type conditions as described?

@Eric had the same experience with this.
