Unani Medicine has various rituals by which patients are treated. Leech therapy is one of the important amongst them. It was practised 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.

I am sure the physicians and the students of Unani Medicine
will find this book very useful. They will give a very good response to
this first book of Dr. Manzoor Ahmad. I hope it will set an example
for other teachers in many Unani Medical Colleges all over India to
venture in writing books on various topics in Unani Medicine. This
will fulfill a very big need of Unani fraternity.
So I wish Dr. Manzoor Ahmad all the best in his efforts in writing
this and many more books in future. May Allah the Almighty fulfill
his mission of propagation of knowledge, as early as possible and as
best as possible. Aamin.
