How does leech therapy compare to other conventional treatments for improving blood circulation in psoriasis?

Psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune condition, presents challenges beyond its visible symptoms, often affecting internal systems such as blood circulation. Traditional and alternative therapies, including leech therapy, have emerged as potential solutions. But how does leech therapy compare to conventional treatments in addressing the complex issue of proper blood circulation in psoriasis?

Conventional treatments for psoriasis typically focus on symptom management through various methods such as topical creams, oral medications, light therapy, and systemic drugs. However, these treatments may not directly address underlying issues related to blood circulation, which can exacerbate psoriasis symptoms. This is where leech therapy, known for its potential to improve blood circulation by removing blood clots and dilating blood vessels, comes into play.

Leech therapy, also known as hirudotherapy, involves the controlled application of medical leeches to the skin. These small creatures have been utilized in traditional medicine for centuries due to their saliva's bioactive compounds, including those with anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, and vasodilatory properties. When applied to the skin, leeches secrete these compounds into the bloodstream, potentially improving blood circulation by removing blood clots and facilitating proper blood flow.

Research has shown promising results regarding leech therapy's efficacy in improving blood circulation in various conditions, including psoriasis. Studies published in reputable journals such as the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine and the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology have reported significant improvements in blood flow parameters among patients with psoriasis treated with leech therapy.

Comparing leech therapy to conventional treatments for psoriasis-related blood circulation issues necessitates consideration of their mechanisms of action and potential side effects. While conventional treatments primarily target inflammation and immune dysregulation, leech therapy offers a unique approach by directly enhancing blood flow at the site of psoriatic lesions.

Moreover, conventional treatments for psoriasis often come with side effects such as skin irritation, gastrointestinal issues, and liver toxicity, particularly with long-term use of systemic medications. In contrast, leech therapy is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects reported, most commonly temporary bleeding and mild itching at the site of leech application.

Leech therapy has also been explored for other conditions related to blood circulation, such as varicose veins. Its potential benefits extend beyond psoriasis, with studies suggesting efficacy in improving blood flow and reducing symptoms associated with varicose veins.

In the context of psoriasis treatment, leech therapy offers a complementary approach that targets blood circulation issues directly at the site of psoriatic lesions. However, it is essential to consider factors such as the availability of trained practitioners and medical leeches, as well as the need for careful monitoring to prevent infections and ensure proper wound care.

Leech therapy shows promise as a complementary approach for improving blood circulation in psoriasis and other conditions. Its ability to address blood flow issues directly at the site of lesions makes it a valuable addition to conventional treatments. However, further research is needed to fully understand its long-term efficacy, safety, and potential applications. Individuals considering leech therapy or other alternative treatments should consult with healthcare professionals, including those at Ayurvedic hospitals like Patanjali Hospital in Delhi, to explore all available options and make informed decisions tailored to their specific needs.

ruggie’s about to find out how fast he can really run

[crystalrabbit246912]

NRC Group Therapy

So I just had a thought that I needed to flesh out and I figured, why not post it on Tumblr, so here you are.

What if the main 24 (all of the named characters, counting Yuu and Grim, excluding the teachers) had group therapy?

Now, I know that there'd obviously be fights between everyone, but can you imagine how funny it would be? Like you have Leona making aggressive comments toward Malleus and Sebek yelling back at him while Malleus is just sitting there happy that Yuu invited him to therapy, or Floyd chasing around Riddle, who's ready to blow a fuse while Jade enables his twin's behavior and Azul tries to stop it.

All while the poor therapist, who's probably very underpaid, is starting to realize that they're maybe a little out of their depth.

Yuu, who's very much Not Okay after all of the Overblots, ends up accidentally trauma dumping by saying something and thinking that it's completely normal, and also has to play peacemaker for everything because... because Crowley's in charge for some reason.

The Overblot gang, especially... (I started thinking of who had the saddest backstories and then realized that it all of them have messed up pasts) all of them, do end up spilling some stuff and traumatizing the therapist in the process.

Some of the guys, like Ruggie with Leona disintegrating him and the Tweels with Azul almost stealing their power, and maybe some passive-aggressive comments toward Idia and Ortho for their kidnappings.

The First-Year Gang, (Yuu in particular), are especially struggling, like Ace and Deuce covering their necks whenever they hear Riddle raise his voice, Jack watching Leona and Ruggie closely, Epel ducking his head and not fighting back against Rook and Vil even when he doesn't want to do something, I couldn't think of something for Ortho, and Sebek flinching at the sound of lightning.

I can imagine Ortho bringing up the fact that he has the memories of the human Ortho who died in the past and Idia built him and the therapist just blue screening for a moment.

Everyone: Casually bringing up near-death experiences and past trauma like it's something everyone goes through

Therapist: I hope you realize it isn't normal

*A brawl somehow breaks out in the background*

Yuu: Guys, guys, calm down! Both sides are valid. Epel, you're allowed to be upset that Vil almost killed you in the past, but be aware that he's actively working on changing. Vil, Epel's been traumatized by you, allow him to be mad at you.

Therapist: ...this is way above my paygrade.

heartbeats to the drum

floyd x reader

sigh floyd being a softy for you and only you

sighhhhh floyd treating you like a glass flower one day and a stress toy the next. ofc he’s unconventional with his love, the slightest bit of worry fogging his mind as he wonders if you’ll leave because of his many quirks.

but that wasn’t always the case

he follows the beat of his own drum, not once stopping or changing it for anyone or anything. if they don’t like it- who cares! not their drum, go find another or whatever…. yet you followed him, followed his rhythm, danced to it sometimes. tripped and fell flat on your ass too, a a fleeting sense of satisfaction felt as he figured you’d had enough and would leave him be like all the other unimportant minnows.

but whenever he looked back, you were still there, a little further, but still following him… jade and azul were just as surprised as floyd when you kept following him. through his rough pounding of war drums, to the soft lonely pings of a bongo that suddenly switched to a war snare, then to a smooth jazz rhythm- he was unpredictable.

switching his styles, rhythms and interests on an impulsive whim. that was floyd. jade would follow sometimes too, though he created his own too. straying from floyd’s more often than not.

so one day, when floyd stopped drumming, stopped walking to do something he normally hate doing on a ‘bad day:2 (which was standing still.) he opted to listen for once. just once. expecting to hear the usual pitter patter of your feet, or the soft humming you’d usually let out, but there was nothing. nothing but silence and stillness around him.

a comet of a thought raced through the night sky of his mind. maybe he marched too fast, or went to far- he scoffs

‘finally,’ he thinks with a heavy mind ‘you got the hint that he wasn’t stopping or changing for no one. that you should just give. up. and go home.’

but like orpheus in the one tales of old in your world you would sometimes divulge him in. there’s a dying need to just turn around and look, to see if you were still following.

he shouldn’t though… he shouldn’t let his mind wonder and his heart pick up a pace. you reality that you weren’t there was already a preconceived notion in his mind. the inner workings of his soul not sensing yours. the voice in his head telling him he was free to march on without anyone bothering him.

yet… there was a feeling, and itch somewhere. he couldn’t place where that itch was and it pissed him off. was it inside or outside his human form? maybe it was his mer instincts taking over? the hunter in him subtly telling him to turn around? nah, that couldn’t be it, right? i mean logically, that would make sense, but… it couldn’t be…

floyd does what he wants when he wants. so he’ll look on his own chagrin thank you very much. yet, like slowly ripping off a bandaid, he turned his head.

he could almost howl in laughter.

because there you were, sitting down and playing with your hands. he couldn’t hear you cause you were taking a break, waiting for him to continue drumming so you could follow along, like how a whale calf would cling and follow their mother.

floyd was good with his emotions, he’d like to think- but anyone around him would disagree. but for him it was simple, if he was happy, he was happy, if he was sad, he was sad yadda yadda yah.

he sometimes couldn’t understand how people couldn’t feel like him or understand him, excluding jade and azul on numerous occasions. he was emotionally intelligent enough to realize that his mood swings weren’t convenient or conceived as normal behavior, especially to humans. that there was an irrational logic or a spring loose to the compass that dictated his life.

yet here you were, always right behind him, following him, almost clinging to him. like a barnacle. a pesky, useless barnacle…

his shadow blocked the light that was once illuminating your figure, looking up at him with a smile as he just stared down at you. his neutral, bored expression slowly churned and morphed into a boyish/ teenage expression someone your age would normally sport.

floyd would tell you that he held that neutral expression, that you were hallucinating when his neutral frown grew into a lazy grin or how his brows lifted into an almost, almost softer expression. no there wasn’t any crinkle in his nose either!! or in his eyes!!

but despite his protests and self proclaimed emotional maturity he’d talk to you about. sometimes, when our mind is too busy processing, our body’s will usually give away our intentions, our true thoughts that we aren’t aware of. a lot of the times, without our consent or knowledge.

you call it habitual responses while floyd calls it inconvenient lies.

but that doesn’t matter, because that day he handed you a triangle and a little metal stick along with it. helped you up, and continued marching.

idk where i was going with this, i wrote as i thought.

i’m gonna try to get better at symbolism because i love that style of writing. hehe

sorry if this is poo poo i wrote it in a combined 30 minutes, before and after therapy 🤷🏻

idk if it’s too short to put a ‘read more’ cut in, or not

[gxthiqlxlita]

ooo changing it up these are mostly single character interactions woah

actually used leona this time (savanaclaw is my least fav dorm, no hate to savanaclaw enjoyers tho love y'all 🫶)

[canisalbus]

What?? Why on Earth would they bloodlet Machete when he's already anemic?

Anemia wasn't discovered until 1852, so his physicians have no idea. He's just moody and achy and visibly unwell and bloodletting happens to be the cure-for-all fix at the time.

I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say it was one of the most used treatments in western medicine from ancient Greece to 19th century (and even earlier than that in Egypt, for example). There weren't many ailments that a little bit of breathing a vein wouldn't alleviate, supposedly. This whole concept is based on humoral theory which is a fascinating cornerstone of medical history and also completely unfounded nonsense, look it up if you haven't, it's interesting. People believed that blood didn't circulate through the body, it was created, used up and then the bad blood would stagnate in the extremities. Having too much blood would disturb your humoral balance and create illnesses so removing it was beneficial to your wellbeing. Even completely healthy people would sometimes go get themselves bled a bit just to be sure.

You kind of need blood for your body to function so this treatment was completely pointless at best and life threatening at worst. If you were sick to begin with it would only weaken you further (and expose you to potential infections, which in the absence of antibiotics, wasn't great). The only viable use for it would have to be rare blood disorders where your body produces too many red blood cells, like polycythemia vera, essentially the polar opposite of anemia.

How does leech therapy work and what are its benefits?

In the realm of alternative medicine, leech therapy stands out as a practice that has endured for centuries. Despite its ancient origins, leech therapy, renowned for its various benefits, continues to intrigue and captivate both practitioners and curious individuals seeking unconventional remedies for various ailments. Let's delve into the fascinating world of leech therapy to uncover its mechanisms and potential advantages, including its role in removing blood clots, its application for varicose veins, and even its surprising uses for conditions like psoriasis and hair health.

Understanding Leech Therapy

Leech therapy, also known as hirudotherapy, involves the controlled application of medicinal leeches to the skin. These small, blood-sucking creatures have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, dating back to ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks. The practice gained popularity in medieval Europe and was a common treatment for a wide range of ailments.

Mechanism of Action

The therapeutic effects of leech therapy are primarily attributed to the bioactive compounds present in the leech's saliva. When a leech attaches itself to the skin and begins feeding, it releases a complex mixture of enzymes, peptides, and proteins into the bloodstream of the host. These substances exert various physiological effects, including

Anticoagulation and Removing Blood Clots: One of the most well-known properties of leech saliva is its ability to prevent blood clotting. This anticoagulant effect is primarily mediated by an enzyme called hirudin, which inhibits thrombin, a key enzyme in the blood clotting cascade. By preventing blood from clotting, leeches can facilitate the flow of stagnant blood in congested tissues, improving circulation to the affected area and aiding in the removal of blood clots.

Anti-inflammatory: Leech saliva contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help reduce swelling, pain, and inflammation at the site of application. This is particularly beneficial for conditions characterized by excessive inflammation, such as arthritis or tendonitis.

Analgesic: The proteins present in leech saliva have mild analgesic properties, providing relief from pain associated with various conditions, including arthritis.

Promotion of Tissue Healing: Some studies suggest that leech therapy may stimulate tissue regeneration and wound healing by promoting the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) and enhancing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues.

Benefits of Leech Therapy

Now that we've explored how leech therapy works on a molecular level, let's discuss some of its potential benefits, including its applications for varicose veins, psoriasis, and hair health

Leech Therapy for Varicose Veins: Leech therapy is commonly used to treat conditions characterized by venous congestion, such as varicose veins and venous insufficiency. By improving blood flow and reducing congestion, leech therapy can alleviate symptoms such as pain, swelling, and skin discoloration associated with varicose veins.

Leech Therapy for Psoriasis: The anti-inflammatory properties of leech therapy make it a potential adjunctive treatment for inflammatory skin conditions like psoriasis. While more research is needed, some individuals report improvements in symptoms after leech therapy sessions.

Leech Therapy for Hair Health: There is emerging interest in the application of leech therapy for promoting hair health. The improved blood circulation and potential tissue regeneration effects may contribute to healthier hair growth. However, more research is needed in this specific area.

For those considering leech therapy, especially in Delhi, it's essential to seek guidance from reputable institutions such as an Ayurvedic hospital. Patanjali Hospital in Delhi is renowned for its holistic approach to healthcare, making it an ideal choice for individuals exploring alternative therapies like leech therapy.

Leech therapy remains a fascinating and controversial practice in the field of alternative medicine. While its mechanisms of action are well-documented, further research is needed to fully understand its efficacy and safety profile, especially in the context of its applications for varicose veins, psoriasis, and hair health. Despite its ancient origins, leech therapy continues to intrigue practitioners and patients alike, offering a unique approach to managing various health conditions. As with any medical intervention, it's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional before undergoing leech therapy to ensure its suitability and safety for individual needs.
