Demi Moore's Beauty Secret: Blood-Sucking Leeches

Tweet

Demi Moore told David Letterman last night on his show that she is a fan of leech therapy. The 46-year-old admitted to visiting Austria to partake in a detox treatment that involves your body being covered in leeches. Demi said, "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."She said you get your body ready for the leeches by shaving and bathing in turpentine. "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 b*st*rd.' 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 it's super drunk on your blood it just kind of rolls over like it is stumbling out of the bar."Demi also can't wait to visit Austria again for a second session. She only had 4 leeches the first time and wants more. What do you think of this treatment? Would you ever try it?
