Li Yuan smiled and said: "This is not good. Although the leech is indeed a bit abnormal, it still has many medicinal functions."

"If it is really extinct... it would be a pity."

Studio.

"Pull it down, who can cure a disease with such a disgusting thing?"

"What disease does this thing cure?"

"We have leech breeding here, it seems... very profitable, and the market is very fast."

"real or fake?"

"No way? Can this stuff be used as medicinal material? Then I'll go to the river below our house to get some, will anyone take it?"

"Me, me, me! High price recycling! Long-term recycling! Seriously!"

"Really?"

"Don't lie! Long-term recycling of leeches, both big and small, the wild ones are better to grow up in the river!"

"That...wait a minute, I'm a little confused right now. Is this leech really a traditional Chinese medicine that can cure diseases? Is it true that the TV show about leeches taking drugs is true?"

"Pull it down, if leeches really can suck blood and cure diseases, then you won't have to get out after being bitten by leeches?"

"It shouldn't be the same thing, right?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Everyone may have some misunderstandings about leeches. Leeches are annelids, also commonly known as water leeches. However... There are more than 500 species of leeches in the world. The largest is more than 10 centimeters , and the smallest one is only a few tens of millimeters."

"Among the more than 500 species of leeches, only a few species of leeches actually suck the blood of humans and animals."

"A leech sucks blood mainly by the suckers at the front and back of its body. When sucking blood, the leech will bite on the human skin, and then cut a Y-shaped wound to suck blood desperately. And despite the small body of the leech, the amount of blood sucked is very large. big."

"In the body of a leech, there are many invisible digestive cecums. These sacs can store a large amount of food, and after it sucks blood once, it will still not starve to death even if it does not eat for a year."

Studio.

"Damn, one year?! This is too scary!"

"Then the vitality of this leech is too strong..."

"Did you die without eating for a year? Damn! No wonder this leech sucks blood vigorously when it catches a host!"

"Damn! This is simply Xiaoqiang in the aquatic world, his vitality is too tenacious..."

"The anchor just said that only a few leeches can suck blood? But if that's the case, why are there so many people buying leeches?"

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Leech, it's not only blood-sucking that can cure diseases."

In the world, many countries have used the blood-sucking habit of medical leeches to treat patients with bloodletting in ancient times. For example, the use of medical leeches in my country was even earlier.

It has been recorded in ancient books that putting hungry leeches into bamboo tubes, and then putting them on the washed skin to let them suck blood can cure Chibaidan swelling, and this is the most commonly known medicinal method of leeches .

In fact, this method is not hearsay, and it is indeed one of the effective ways to use it.

Because the saliva of leeches contains a kind of hirudin, it will secrete saliva while sucking blood, and this kind of hirudin can very well prevent blood from clotting.

Today's medicine has applied this characteristic of leeches clinically.

For example, after the replantation of a severed finger, the function of the newly connected arteries and veins is not fully restored, and the local blood circulation is not smooth enough.

As a result, patients will experience symptoms such as local swelling, bruising, and pain.

The doctor put a leech on the finger of the severed finger replanted patient, so that it can suck the blood of the wound, make the local blood circulation smooth, protect the local muscle tissue, and speed up the healing of the wound.

After the leech has sucked enough blood, it will automatically fall off the finger without affecting the healing of the wound. This is also a new blood drainage treatment method.

Leech sucking blood is now not only used in surgical operations, but also used to treat many kinds of internal diseases, relieve vasospasm, and relieve high blood pressure symptoms, all of which have very good effects.

But... In fact, the role of leeches is far more than that. Using leeches as medicine is the way to maximize the medical value of leeches.

Li Yuan: "The blood-sucking effect of leeches is at most used as an auxiliary treatment by boulders. The way they are used and the diseases they treat are actually very effective. But...if they are used as medicine, leeches can actually treat many diseases."

"The most important thing is to use leeches to treat bruises, continuous bleeding, and postpartum haemorrhage and other diseases. The functions of leeches in medical records are to break blood and stimulate menstruation, eliminate accumulated symptoms, reduce swelling and detoxify. wait."

"Leeches are used as medicine by drying the whole body. The dried leech contains a large amount of hirudin and protein, which has the effect of anti-coagulation and breaking blood stasis. Symptoms."

In fact, the research on the efficacy of leeches has never stopped. For example, in recent years, experiments have found that external medicines and injections made from live leeches and pure honey are very effective in treating corneal spots and senile cataracts. The role of the trigger period and the expansion period can make the turbid body gradually transparent.

The hirudin in leeches can also relieve arterial spasm and reduce blood pressure and adhesion.

Therefore, leeches can significantly reduce the symptoms of high blood pressure, so many people use leeches with other blood-activating and detoxifying drugs to treat tumors.

With the current frequent incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, leeches have now become a special drug with increasing demand.

"So, leeches are really a medicine?"

"I can't imagine... there are so many medicinal methods for such a disgusting thing."

"The leeches are useful in many medicines, especially those for gynecological diseases."

"No way?! Scared me!"

"Don't make it into powder, what are you afraid of, as long as it can cure the disease."

"Yes, take it easy."

"It's not that I'm nervous, but when I think about the leeches in the medicine I take every day, I feel... my hairs stand on end."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's good to calm down, this leech is a precious medicinal material, and I'm afraid I'm reluctant to use it in general medicine."

"Besides, perhaps the two most famous functions of leeches, one is to drive away evil blood and stagnate blood, and the second is to break blood and accumulate. Breaking blood and accumulation is also used to treat symptoms such as women's blood stasis, amenorrhea, and uterine hemorrhage. "

"For example, I know that there are hundreds of Chinese patent medicines made from leeches. The presence of leeches means that the medicine will work."

Studio.

"For the leech's usefulness, forgive it."

"But I still can't stand it..."

"Me too, no matter how effective it is, I will kill it without hesitation after seeing it."

"But fortunately, the number of leeches is much less now."

"It's true, there were so many leeches in the water when I was a child, but now there are a lot fewer of them. It's a blessing."
