Hijama (wet cupping)

Hijama, also known as wet cupping, is an ancient healing practice that is gaining popularity among those seeking natural ways to improve their health. Originating in Islamic and Eastern medicine, this therapy is known for its powerful detoxifying and restorative effects.

What is Hijama?

Hijama is a form of cupping therapy in which small, superficial incisions are made on the skin, followed by the application of vacuum cups. This process draws out "stagnant" or impure blood and toxins from the body. It promotes circulation, stimulates the immune system, and can help reduce a wide range of health complaints.

Scientifically Proven Benefits of Hijama

1. Detoxification of the body
   Research shows that hijama helps remove harmful substances from the bloodstream. A study published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (2015) found that wet cupping significantly reduced levels of heavy metals like lead and mercury in the blood.

2. Improved blood circulation
   Cupping therapy increases microcirculation in the treated area. A 2012 study in PLOS ONE confirmed that cupping improves blood flow to the skin and muscles, aiding in healing and regeneration.

4. Immune system support
   Hijama has been shown to activate the immune system and reduce inflammation. A 2013 clinical study found that wet cupping influenced cytokine levels in the blood, contributing to immune function.

5. Mental clarity and relaxation
   Although less studied, many patients report mental clarity, reduced stress, and better sleep after hijama sessions. These effects are often attributed to improved blood flow and the release of physical tension.
