Hijama (Cupping Therapy) – Natural Detox for Holistic Healing
What is Hijama?
Hijama, also known as Cupping Therapy, is an ancient healing technique practiced in Unani and traditional medicine. It involves placing specially designed cups on specific points of the body to create suction, which helps in drawing out impure blood, toxins, and stagnant fluids from the tissues.
This therapy is used both as a preventive and curative method to promote natural healing and enhance physical and mental well-being.
Types of Hijama
Dry Cupping: Only suction is applied without bloodletting.
Wet Cupping (Hijama): Small incisions are made to draw out toxic blood after suction.
Massage Cupping: Cups are moved around for pain relief and relaxation.
