In this, leeches are placed on the part of the head where there is less hair. Leech sucks the dirty blood from that part of the head and pure blood starts circulating there. It opens up the blood vessels and encourages them to provide more oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles. Due to this, new hair starts growing at that place. It is also beneficial in the problem of dandruff.
