The procedure for leech therapy typically involves the following steps:

Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and disinfected to reduce the risk of infection.
Placement: The leech is carefully placed on the skin over the affected area.
Bloodletting: The leech will attach itself to the skin and begin to feed, drawing blood from the body.
Detachment: After the leech has finished feeding, it will naturally detach itself from the skin.
