What Is Hijama (Wet Cupping)?
Hijama, also known as wet cupping, is a traditional therapeutic practice that involves creating suction on the skin using special cups and then making small, superficial incisions to draw out a small amount of blood. This is believed to remove "stagnant" or "toxic" blood from the body to promote healing and wellness.
How It Works:
-
Cupping: A cup is placed on the skin and suction is created—either by heating the cup or using a suction pump.
-
Incisions: After a few minutes, the cup is removed, and small cuts are made on the skin using a sterile blade.
-
Bloodletting: The cup is placed back on the skin to draw out a small amount of blood through suction.
-
Cleaning: After the process, the area is cleaned and dressed to prevent infection.
Benefits of Hijama (as reported by users and some studies):
1. Pain Relief
-
Effective for chronic pain such as lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain, migraines, and arthritis.
2. Improves Blood Circulation

4. Boosts Immunity

5. Mental Well-being

6. Improves Skin Conditions

May help with acne, eczema, and other skin concerns due to better circulation and detoxification.
7. Supports Digestive and Respiratory Health

Often used as a complementary treatment for asthma, allergies, IBS, and other issues.
Important Notes:
-
Performed by trained practitioners only. Always choose a licensed or well-reviewed professional.

Sterilization and hygiene are crucial to avoid infection.
