In the "I-Medicine Sutra" Leek have been used to detoxin & also improve the vitality of "Male" energy!!
In UK, the Welsh people have the custom common to Chinese. That is using Leek to ward off the evil spirits!!
I understand that During St. David day, the Welsh would pin the Leek on their chest. The Chinese normally hang in front of the door top on Luna May the 5th!!

The Dallas Morning News
(KRT) - Guiliano says this broth has been consumed by French women for generations. Forty-eight hours of leek soup plus all the water you want would provide immediate results to jump-start the "recasting" process.
MAGICAL LEEK SOUP
Clean 2 pounds of leeks and rinse well to get rid of the sand and soil. Cut off the ends of the dark green parts, leaving all the white parts plus a suggestion of pale green. (Reserve the extra greens for soup stock.)
Put the leeks in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered for 20 to 30 minutes. Pour off the liquid and reserve. Place the leeks in a bowl.
Serves one for the weekend.
The broth is to be drunk (reheated to taste) every two to three hours, 1 cup at a time.
For meals, or whenever hungry, have some of the leeks themselves, 1/2 cup at a time. Drizzle with a few drops of extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice. Season sparingly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you wish.
