Maybe she has a time machine, or maybe she just thinks that they knew more back in the 1100’s, but Demi Moore is a fan of leeching, an antiquated, yet recently revived medical process whereby leeches are applied to the body to remove “toxins.”

It seems that when the body has an imbalance of humours, leeches are applied to the skin to remove the dark humours that have accumulated, which brings the ratio of good humours to dark humours to an acceptable level.

I apologize for the technical terms, I know I may have lost many of you with that last paragraph, but it was necessary to explain the process made popular by Erwyth the Elder many centuries ago.

Bloodletting is also an acceptable form of restoring proper humour balance for optimum health, as are in some cases, frontal lobotomies.
It’s all there in Erwyth’s groundbreaking medical text from 1189 A.D., The Balance of Humours.

Demi Moore described her experience with leech therapy in an interview on the Late Night with David Letterman show, “They have a little enzyme that when they are biting down in you gets released in your blood and generally you bleed for quite a bit - and your health is optimised. 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*****d.’ 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.”

There she goes again with all that technical jargon.
Demi, you must truly try to break it down for us non-Hollywood types to understand.
We look to you for ways to live our lives, you can at least help the masses try to understand the revolutionary therapy of leeching!
