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 vulva and clitoris is known to induce and/or 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 mixed with 18 selected herbs ( Naturopathy ) to treat Erectile Dysfunction in men and has no known adverse effect.

The basis and virtues of polygamy

Understandably, one of the main criteria to qualify a man to marry more than one woman is his ability to satisfy their sexual needs.

The traditional Malay elite, noblemen and adepts usually keep more than one wife - as an indication of their high social status : personal wealth, self-esteem, success, generosity and sexual ability. They are known to be using a special ointment to treat and care for their penis and maintain its virility and fitness. 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. - Sheikh Umar el-Nefzawi author of kitab Rawd at-Tirr

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 Hirudo 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).
