🩸 Hijama (Cupping) Therapy – The Ancient Art of Detoxification and Healing. Hijama Therapy, also known as Cupping Therapy, is one of the oldest healing techniques in the world — practiced for over 5,000 years in various cultures including Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, and Islamic medicine.
The word “Hijama” comes from the Arabic word “Hajm”, meaning “to suck” or “to draw out.”
It refers to the process of creating suction on the skin using cups to remove stagnated blood, toxins, and negative energy, allowing the body to heal naturally.
Hijama is widely used today for:
🧬 The Concept Behind Hijama
According to traditional medicine, many illnesses occur due to stagnant or impure blood, blocked energy, or toxin accumulation in the body.
By removing this stagnation through suction, the body’s natural energy flow (also known as Qi or Prana) is restored.Modern science explains it as a localized negative pressure technique that improves blood flow, lymphatic drainage, and muscle relaxation.
🩺 Types of Hijama Therapy
Hijama is mainly of two types, depending on the method used:
1. Dry Hijama (Without Incision)
In Dry Hijama, suction cups are applied on specific areas of the body without making any cuts. This draws blood towards the surface and stimulates healing.
Example:
Used for muscle pain, stiff neck, or relaxation therapy.
2. Wet Hijama (With Incision)
In Wet Hijama, tiny and shallow cuts are made on the skin after initial suction.
Then, the cup is placed again to gently draw out stagnant blood and toxins.
It is considered detoxifying and purifying for the entire body.
Example:
Used for migraines, high blood pressure, back pain, skin issues, and chronic fatigue.
