Hijama (or cupping) is a traditional therapeutic procedure based on the removal of small amounts of blood from the body using vacuum cups. This technique has a long history and is used in various cultures, especially in Arabic, Islamic and Eastern medicine. Hijama involves the use of a vacuum to stimulate blood circulation and remove toxins from the body.
Principle of action: Creating a vacuum - special cups are placed on the skin, through which a vacuum is created. This stimulates the flow of blood to the area of treatment. Mechanism of bloodletting - after the cups are placed on the skin and a vacuum is created, small incisions are made in the selected areas of the skin (using sterile blades or needles) to extract a small amount of blood. This is considered a way to cleanse the body of "pollutants" and stimulate recovery processes.
