Terapi lintah ( Leeches Therapy )

Assalamualaikum and Salam Ramadhan,
I hope all the Muslim blogger are being success in perform our forth and fifth of Rukun Islam.

My articles are regard to the leech’s therapy. Today, I found the leech’s therapy is good to remove unnecessary blood. Actually I'm the one who are looking for this treatment in order to gain a better blood circulation and reduce my headache. Through my findings, there are few SPA and massage center are provide this kind of therapy at Klang Valley and Shah Alam. The package are various from RM50 to RM200 per treatment. Its depend on how many of leeches being used. Commonly, it was RM10 per single of leeches.


When I back to my childhood at hometown Kuala Rompin Pahang, leeches easier being found at culvert next to my house. After school session, my brothers and I will be around the culvert to caught fighter fish namely "Ikan Sekilau" and leech’s is hanging everywhere. At that time, those leeches are priceless. I think, if I knew leeches is valuable and trade able in early stage I will become a success leech’s entrepreneur. But now when I back to my hometown, there were no longer easier to be found. They might be hidden somewhere since knowing that they are valuable.

From these articles, you can have your own reading on the few information of safety and adverse effect of leech’s therapy. Such as:

How much blood does a patient lose during the treatment?

I can't comment yet since I haven't had experience of this therapy. But I'm on my way to enjoy this therapy or 'bekam' tomorrow evening at Banting. Just for improving of my blood quality and Insya'allah I will share my first experience in 'bekam' as well leeches therapy. I will share my experience in having ‘bekam lintah’ on my last articles.
