In other words the book is a guide to practice Leech therapy especially in the field of Surgery. This book will definitely help practitioners to practice Leech Therapy. Unani Medicine has various rituals by which patients are treated. Leech therapy is one of the important amongst them. It was practiced in European countries also. However it was relegated to back benches as there are not many authoritative books on this subject. I am happy that Dr. Manzoor Ahmad has undertaken a step in this direction and written a very well researched book on this topic which includes his own experience of leech therapy.
