Wet Cupping Hijama

Wet cupping 'Hijama', is an ancient traditional practice it involves disinfecting the skin, then applying a sterile blade to the skin to make many small incisions. These are usually the size of paper cuts. This allows blood beneath the skin to be removed. This type of blood is traditionally thought to be the "bad" blood. The idea is once this blood is removed, it will be replaced with new "clean" blood, hence allowing for better flow.

While research is investigating the validity of these arguments it is clear that Hijama may assist with many conditions as well as with general well-being. Below is a list of conditions that Hijama may assist with: 

​

• Neck Pain 

• Headaches 

• Shoulder Pain

• Wrist Pain

• Hand Pain

• Mid Back Pain 

• Low Back Pain

• Gastrointestinal, respiratory and some cardiovascular conditions (Hijama may assist with symptom management but will not cure the root cause of these issues. Please see a medical professional for management of these conditions)
