Seorang artis Hollywood terkenal,Demi Moore,menggunakan rawatan lintah untuk memelihara kecantikan wajahnya..
“I feel like I’ve always been someone looking for the cutting edge of things that optimize your health and healing… I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy… These aren’t just swamp leeches though – we are talking about highly trained medical leeches. These are not some low level scavengers – we’re talking high level blood suckers… They have a little enzyme that when they are biting down in you it gets released in your blood and generally you bleed for quite a bit – and your health is optimized… It detoxifies your blood – I’m feeling very detoxified right now. I did it in some woman’s house laying on her bed. We did a little sampler first, which is in the belly button… It crawls in and you feel it bite down on you and you want to go, ‘You bastard.’ Then you relax and work on your Lemaze breathing just to kind of relax… You watch it swell up on your blood, watching it get fatter and fatter – then when its super drunk on your blood it just kind of rolls over like it is stumbling out of the bar.” - Demi Moore (at the night on The David Letterman Show)
Setiap kali rawatan, sebanyak empat atau lima ekor lintah digunakan bergantung kepada tahap penyakit seseorang. Lintah akan dilepaskan pada bahagian yang hendak dirawat. Ia seterusnya akan mencari-cari bahagian yang berdarah kotor dan apabila telah menjumpainya, lintah akan terus diam dan menyedut darah.
Lintah tersebut akan mengeluarkan sejenis lendir yang berguna bagi mencairkan darah beku.
Lintah tidak akan menggigit atau menyedut darah jika bahagian tersebut tidak berdarah kotor. Setiap rawatan mengambil masa selama satu jam dan lintah baru akan digunakan. Pesakit akan berasa seperti gigitan semut semasa lintah menjalankan ‘tugasnya’.
