What is hijama or cupping therapy? hijama also called as cupping therapy is a powerful treatment to promote blood circulation. there are certain stagnation areas in the body where the blood collects in and it has been proved through medicial studies that removal of this blood is very beneficial to the whole body system. hijama (حِجَمَة) comes from the root word al-hajm, which simply means “sucking”. Cupping is the modern term for this ancient form of medical treatment in which a partial vacuum is created in cups that are positioned onto the surface of the body. The vacuum created by either heat or suction draws up skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle layers a few millimetres into the cups. the negative pressure that translates into the body’s tissues encourages blood flow, the release of toxins and the removal of waste and has been found to affect the body up to four inches deep through the tissues. the cups can be left in one place on the skin or moved around as part of massage cupping. The treatment can be utilised to influence the movement of bodily fluids such as lymph fluid, venous drainage and the reduction of stagnant flow. As the treatment uses negative pressure it lifts up muscles and tissues rather than pressing down on them like in conventional massage, it enables the treatment to massage tissues from the inside out. This has beneficial effects on muscles, fascia and skin as well as influencing the deeper organs.
