Patient's preparation for treatment:

- leeches don't like any strong cosmetics such as deodorants, perfumes, antiperspirants, they can sense it on your skin and the treatment will be impossible,

- 24-48 hours before treatment you shouldn't drink any alcochol, shouldn't eat any spicy food, garlic, chilli, turmeric, curry etc. as leeches can sense it and the treatment will be impossible,

- before treatment you shouldn't use lipstick, cosmetic creams, eyeshadow as it has included cobaltic ingridients that is blocking leeches enzymes and the treatment wouldn't be efective,
