Wet Cupping

Our Treatment

Cupping is an ancient therapy from China, Middle East and Europe. One of the oldest medicinal textbooks in the world, the
Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians we’re using cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C.

Hijama or wet cupping is a safe, non-invasive and economical way of curing and preventing many diseases. Though Chinese
use of this method was limited to certain medical complications like lungs infection, colds, to treat internal organs’ disorders,
joint pain, etc.

What is Wet Cupping/ Hijama

Wet cupping therapy dates back to thirty-five hundred years ago, mention of its use can be found in ancient Chinese, Middle Eastern and Egyptian cultures. It involves drawing out any toxins and impurities from the body.

‘Hijama’ or wet cupping is an ancient traditional medicine practice. The process involves drawing blood from various points on the body by creating small incisions (using a thin needle or blade) in the skin and then drawing out deoxygenated “bad” blood through suction cups. This helps to detoxify the body by improving blood circulation.

Hijama can be used to treat a variety of illnesses such as:

Various muscular aches (back, shoulder, neck, and knee pain)
Infertility (for both males and females)
Neurological disorders (Migraine, Epilepsy, seizures)
Respiratory disorders (influenza, cough, smoking cessation)
Gastrointestinal disorders (bowel diseases, constipation)

How does it work?

The treatment will be carried out by a licensed well experienced specialist, it first involves applying a clean cup onto the patient’s selected area then a tool is used to create a suction which draws all the blood into one place and also numbs the skin a little, ready for the incision. After 5-10 minutes, the cup is removed, and using a surgical blade, very small incisions are made, only reaching the first layer of skin. Then the cup is placed back in the same position, suction is created again, then toxic blood is drawn out. The blood is usually dark in color and really thick (jelly-like). Once the blood stops pouring out, the area is cleaned with an antibacterial wipe and Aloe Vera gel is applied.
