Complaints of the musculoskeletal system are often particularly difficult to heal. Treatment with leeches offers a real alternative. Anke Henne, a natural healing practitioner for animals, offers a comprehensive presentation on the clinical uses and effects of these small creatures, which can easily be applied to veterinary practice.

She showcases inflammation, trauma, osteoarthritis, dysplasia, thrombosis and poor wound-healing as possible indications, showing in detail the wide-ranging uses of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic substances in the saliva of the leech. This almost 90-minute talk makes it abundantly clear that Hirudo medicinalis is not so much a “disgusting, slimy bloodsucker” as a true gift of nature.
