Leeches are popular today for several reasons, primarily in the medical field, where they are used in bloodletting and to promote healing in reconstructive surgery. They contain anticoagulants that help improve blood circulation, making them valuable for managing conditions like venous congestion. Additionally, leech therapy is gaining attention in alternative medicine for its purported benefits, which has spurred interest in their use beyond traditional practices. Their ecological role in maintaining wetland ecosystems also contributes to their popularity in educational and conservation contexts.
