INDIA-HEALTH-MEDICINE-LEECH

Indian ayurvedic doctor Vyasadeva Mahanta poses with medicinal leeches to be used in 'Jaluka Avacharan' (leech therapy) at the SGVP Campus on the outskirts of Ahmedabad on December 28, 2013. Leech therapy, with evidence of its use dating back to 800 BC, is making a comeback in modern medicine and is used to stimulate circulation to salvage skin grafts and reconstructive surgery, and other conditions such as varicose veins, muscle cramps, thrombophlebitis, and osteoarthritis among others.
