What is Hijama?

Hijama / Cupping

Hijama, also known as cupping therapy, is an ancient medical practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The cups can be made of various materials, such as glass, bamboo, or silicone. The suction is typically created by heating the air inside the cup and placing it on the skin, causing a vacuum effect.

Hijama Types

There are two main types of cupping: dry cupping and wet cupping. In dry cupping, the cups are applied to the skin to create suction, which is believed to stimulate blood flow and promote healing. Wet cupping involves making small incisions on the skin before applying the cups, allowing a small amount of blood to be drawn into the cups.

Ancient Therapy

Hijama has been practiced in various cultures throughout history and is often associated with traditional medicine. Some proponents believe that hijama can help with various health issues, including pain relief, inflammation reduction, and detoxification.
