What is Cupping/Hijama Therapy?
Cupping or hijama cupping treatment is a traditional healing method that uses suction cups to boost blood circulation, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and help remove toxins from the body. During the procedure, the skin is gently lifted using suction. In some cases, tiny and nearly painless cuts are made, followed by a second suction to draw out a small amount of blood, which supports the body’s natural healing process.
At a professional cupping and hijama therapy center, hygienic and safe practices are followed. Cups used in the procedure can be made from materials like glass, bamboo, silicone, or ceramic. While disposable cups are often used for wet cupping, reusable cups may be used in dry or sports cupping where no blood is involved.
