On my perilous journey through odd medical practices, I recently tried leech therapy. It wasn't particularly pleasant, and I won't forget it in a hurry.
I suppose it's not particularly surprising that leech therapy felt unusual.
Leech therapy sounds thoroughly medieval — however, it predates the medieval era by a substantial chunk of time.
Ancient Egyptians, Indians, Arabs, and Greeks all used leeches therapeutically.
