What is the dosage required for treatment with leeches?
Every human body is different, so no treatment should be the same dose. Remember that this is very important. The world's population is increasing rapidly every day and the number of doctors, hospitals, etc. is insufficient because it cannot be increased at the same rate.
When we go to the doctor, the disease is diagnosed according to the examination results and doctors prescribe certain drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies and ask the patient to use them. While the drugs are being produced, dosages are created by determining certain intervals.
For example, while the dosage that a person needs to take may be 65 mg according to their body, the dosage that another person needs to take may be 95 mg. In this case, the doctor will have to give the same medicine to both patients. The effect will not be the same for both patients using 100 mg of medicine. The patient who needs the 65 mg dose will have to work extra in many organs to get rid of the extra 35 mg from the body, and as a result, this will tire their own body and cause harm to their body with side effects in addition to benefits.
The situation is different in leech therapy. Since no pharmacological products are taken into the body, the dosage can be adjusted more easily. For example, a woman has hypovarianism, the correct hormones will be stimulated in leech therapy and the body will use the organs and tissues as much as it should by intervening in the causes of the disease in sufficient amounts on its own. Each patient will react to these enzymes according to their own body and the side effects will disappear.
We take into consideration many factors when adjusting the dosage. The dosage is adjusted according to many factors such as individual characteristics, hereditary disorders, hair and skin color, weight, gender, etc. The liver is very important in this treatment. Since it is the organ that makes blood, the use of small or large leeches will be chosen depending on whether there is any disease.
