- W2188774549 abstract "The medicinal leech, Hirudo medici nalis , is one of the few examples of the use of invertebrates in the treatment of human disease. Leech therapy also known as Hirudotherapy (mentioned as Jalaukav a charan in Ayurveda) played an important role because it was used for medicinal blood - letting and purification - a practice believed to cure a variety of ailments from gout to headaches. The use of leeches began to become less widespread towards the end of the 19th century. B ut leech therapy has now again emerged as widely useful the r apy in larg e number of diseases and is attracting the eyes of researchers all over the world. In Ayurveda, Jalaukav a charana has been mentio ned as one of the processes of R akt a mokshana. A yurveda scholars have devoted full chapters in their texts dep icting identificati on, collection, preservation, method of application, indications etc. of leeches which proves its popularity in medical field since ancient times. B esides its wide indications, its easy applicability without producing any adverse effect s is also another re ason why leech therapy has been practiced by Ayurvedic physicians since ancient times. In present era , role of leeches in microsurgery in setting of venous congestion associated with soft tissue replantations and free flap - based reconstructive surgery has been well accepted on various scientific grounds.
