HIRUDO MEDICINALIS
- medicinal leech
Scientific interest in
leeches date back to ancient India. However, the first Western
citation is credited to the Greek, Nicander of Colophon (c 130 BC).
These early references were accounts of the use of leeches for
bloodletting. This therapeutic use of leeches, the medicinal leech
in particular, reached a height between 1825 and 1840. A more
contemporary use of leeches was discovered in 1957 by Markwardt. The
leech secretion hirudin was isolated and subsequently its
anticoagulant properties with respect to the elucidation of blood
clotting mechanisms were examined.
Today medicinal
leeches are used as tools in tissue grafts and reattachment surgery.
Not only do they secrete anticoagulants to prevent blood clots and
relieve pressure due to pooling blood. It appears that leech saliva
has other therapeutic properties. Leech saliva helps reestablish
blood flow to reattached body parts by means of a vasodilator,
provides a numbing anesthetic, and lessens the risk of infection due
to an antibiotic.
Frequently Asked
Questions [ FAQ ]
What are the
effects of Hirudo Medicinalis ?
The numerous enzymes
it contains act mainly upon blood vessels and the whole vascular
system.
- On blood
circulation generally: effective anticoagulant, antithrombotic
and thrombolytic.
- On
microcirculation
- On atheroma :
vasorelaxing, anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions
Moreover, the
extracts are not significantly allergising and their active
effectiveness has been scientifically tested and demonstrated
What are the
active elements that leech extracts contain ?
Leeches in general,
but mostly the Hirudo Medicinalis variety, contain a vast number of
active enzymes which can act upon every system and sub-system
connected with bloodflow and microcirculation.
Although their anticoagulant actions are the most well known and
fully documented, other actions are also useful and effective :
-
anti-inflammatory
- anaesthetic
- antiphlogistic
- and even
anti-infectious.
The most powerful
known anticoagulant is also the best known leech enzyme : hirudin.
Not only is it a thrombin inhibitor (thrombin is directly involved
in coagulation), it is also dissolves already formed blood clots (fibrinolysin
hydrolysing fibrin).
The extract also
contains Pheromone, a hormonal scent that attracts the opposite sex
- and now commonly sold over the counter as "mating-aid" for men.
Traces of Nitric Oxide (NO) are also found in hirudo medicinalis.
Its variants are being used to manufacture Viagra®.
Nitric Oxide upon contact with the clitoris is known to induce and
enhance orgasm in women.
All these facts point to one thing : the effectiveness of Minyak
Lintah Tapa® on penis enhancement. Massaging your penis twice
daily with Minyak Lintah Tapa® will improve your performance, in
fact you'll see the difference after the first rub. The ointment has
been traditionally used ( Naturopathy ) to treat Erectile
Dysfunction in men and has no known adverse effect.
POLYGAMY - it's
NOT for SOFTIES!
Understandably, one of the main criteria to qualify a man to
marry more than one woman is his ability to satisfy their sexual
needs apart from being wealthy enough to support a large household.
For hundred of years, the native man of Malaya - the elite and
adepts who usually keep 4 wives - have been using a special ointment
to care for their penis and maintain its virility. This traditional
method and remedy have a striking similarity with the practice of
desert Arab men, known for their sexual prowess, as explained in Sir
RF Burton's translation of Sheikh Umar el-Nefzawi book entitled "Rawd
at-Tirr" or in English, The Perfumed Garden. In chapter 17 of this
classical Tunisian-Arab sex-journal of the 16th century is stated
how the penis can be made bigger and stronger with this massage
oil.

Prescriptions
for Increasing the Dimensions of Small Members and for Making
Them Splendid
.....
A fourth remedy
is based upon the use made of leeches ( Hirudo Medicinalis ),
but only of such as live in water (sic), You put as many of
them into a bottle as can be got in, and fill it up with oil
Then expose the bottle to the sun, until the heat of the same
has effected a complete mixture. With the fluid thus obtained
the member is to be rubbed several consecutive days, and It
will, by being thus treated, become of a good size and of full
dimensions. The efficacy of all these remedies is well known,
and I have tested them. |
Scientific
discoveries on Hirudo Medicinalis
Hirudin:
Formerly widely used for letting blood, the medicinal leech (Hirudo
medicinalis) may now be used following microsurgery (e.g. to
replace a severed finger) to restore patency to blocked or collapsed
blood vessels and thus encourage the growth of new capillaries. The
anticoagulants in the saliva of this and other species are being
investigated for the treatment and prevention of thrombosis. Hirudin
has been isolated from H. medicinalis. The purification and
structure of hirudin has been the focus of intense research. It
consists of 65 amino acids and is a potent, specific inhibitor of
thrombin. Thrombin activates the conversion of fibrin from
fibrinogen and promotes platelet aggregation. Inhibition by hirudin
would decrease blood clot formation and promote continued blood flow
from the affected area.
Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel,
which often obstructs the flow of blood. Thrombosis is more likely
to occur if the blood vessel is damaged, if the blood flow is very
slow, or if the blood is in a condition in which it is more likely
to clot. The commonest site of thrombosis is in the veins of the
legs.
Histamine:
Vasodilator: A vasodilator increases the diameter of blood vessels
and promotes blood flow. The leech vasodilator is a histamine-like
substance and is found in the salivary cells.
Hyaluronidase: The main therapeutic
benefit of the leech - Hirudo Medicinalis is that it produces a
number of diverse salivary secretions that include an anesthetic,
anticoagulant (hirudin), local vasodilator (histamine),and an enzyme
(hyaluronidase). |
