What is wet cupping ( hijama ) therapy ?


Full research in the link below





Hijama therapy, also known as cupping therapy, is an ancient practice rooted in traditional medicine. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, which draws the skin and superficial muscle layer into the cup. There are two main types of cupping:


1. **Dry Cupping:** Involves creating a vacuum inside the cup to draw the skin upwards. This technique is often used for pain relief and relaxation.


2. **Wet Cupping:** This method involves making small incisions on the skin after dry cupping and then applying the cup again to draw out a small amount of blood. It is believed to remove harmful substances from the body and improve blood circulation.


Hijama therapy is used for various purposes, including:

- **Pain Relief:** Especially for musculoskeletal pain and headaches.

- **Detoxification:** Believed to remove toxins and improve overall health.

- **Improving Blood Flow:** By stimulating blood circulation in the treated area.

- **Treating Certain Medical Conditions:** Some proponents suggest it can help with conditions like rheumatic diseases, skin problems, and respiratory issues.
