Wet Cupping - Hijama
Hijama has been around for thousands of years and was used as a therapeutic and medicinal intervention on a global scale since the beginning of recorded history.
The treatment process involves the application of cups on various points of the body. A negative pressure (suction) is then created by using a hand pump. This is then followed by applying small, superficial incisions onto the same location point of the body. This is performed by using a sterile surgical blade. The cups are then reapplied and suction is applied again. The toxic blood is gradually drawn out, collected in a cup and then safely disposed. The cup is replaced again and suction is repeated several times to let blood drain. Today Hijama has gained immense attention from celebrities and sports athletes and is widely used for health promotion, prophylaxis and treatment of a variety of diseases around the world. |
Dry Cupping
The cups are placed over several areas of pain, swelling or stiffness and left in position for a short period of time to create a vacuum which lifts the soft tissue and creates an upward stretch within the muscle and associated fascia. This vacuum lift helps to increase in blood flow and induces a stretch effect, which results in a reduction in muscle tension and associated pain. This treatment does not involve the removal of toxic blood. |
