What is Hijama (wet cupping)
Hijama, also known as wet cupping, is an ancient traditional medical practice with roots in various cultures, including Islamic medicine, that involves the application of cups to the skin to create a partial vacuum. This process is believed to promote blood circulation and remove harmful or stagnant blood from specific areas of the body.
In the hijama procedure, small incisions are made on the skin, usually on the back or other selected areas. Then, cups are placed over these incisions, creating suction, which draws a small amount of blood from the body. The theory behind hijama is that it helps remove toxins and impurities from the blood, relieve pain, and improve overall well-being. The practice is often associated with traditional healing and alternative medicine.
Hijama is still practiced in some regions, especially within traditional or holistic healthcare settings. However, it's important to note that the practice should be conducted by trained and qualified practitioners to ensure safety and hygiene. The scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of hijama is limited, and it is considered a complementary or alternative therapy. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before considering hijama to address specific health concerns.
