WHAT THE...........LEECHE??!!!!

In pursuit of youthful glow? Why not let a leeche suck you!

That's right Leeche Therapy may become the new wave, move over botox, snip and tuck it's time to get sucked. 
Earlier forms of Leeche Therapy can be traced as far back as 2,500 years ago. Recorded as used by Greeks, in India and Egypt for Bloodletting (or blood-letting) is the withdrawal of often considerable quantities of blood from a patient to cure or prevent illness and disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloodletting). . Fast forward to today and A lister Demi Moore as admitted to using leeches to aide in detoxifying her blood which should result energy and a youthful appearance, hmmm I guess when your hubby is loved by teenie boppers going to all lengths is an understatement. Leech therapy has been used for treatment of varicose veins, plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Well if you are interested here is an an outline.
  1. Find a qualified clinic.
  2. Leeches like a smooth body, so shave but waxing is prefered, picky suckers aren't they.
  3. Soak of Turpentine (look it up), there is some tingling which eventually stops.
  4. Bottoms up time for some "highly trained medical leeches" (no really they are trained) to feast until they swell then fall off. Now you are well on your way to a new you (I suppose).
Pain level is said to be about as much as mosquito bites. The saliva has pain killers and also keeps the blood from clotting. Enzymes are released to detoxify the blood.

Hands up if you are ready to try this out. Personally, I am still tryimg to get my head around fish pedicures so I pass.

Would you?
