This improves circulation and prevents tissue death. The leeches leave behind small, Y-shaped wounds that usually heal without leaving a scar. Leeches are effective at increasing blood circulation and breaking up blood clots. It should be no surprise that they can be used to treat circulatory disorders and cardiovascular disease. Chemicals derived from leech saliva have been made into pharmaceutical drugs that can treat hypertension, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, skin problems and arthritis.

An adhesive bio-bandage is used personally to cover a minor injury on a human body, especially on a finger or a toe. Bio-bandages are made from herbal compounds that impart host compatible therapeutic properties. Bio-bandages are prepared from the herbals such as, Azadirachta indica (Neem), Ocimum tenuiflorum (Holy basil), Vitex negundo (Five-leaved chaste tree) and Curcuma longa (Turmeric). The formulated quantity of herbal composition was loaded in the nonwoven fabric pad. Natural adhesive glue from neem tree was used as an adhesive to make the bandage. The antimicrobial assay was performed for the four herbal plants towards Gram negative bacterium (Escherichia coli) and Gram positive bacterium (Bacillus subtilis). The results showed effective zone of inhibition against the test organisms. Bio-bandages made of herbals posses antimicrobial properties that are chemical free, non-toxic and ecofriendly
