Description
Wet cupping or Hijama, is a therapeutic practice that involves applying suction cups to the skin to create a vacuum and drawing out a small amount of blood after making minor incisions. It is an ancient form of alternative medicine that involves a two-step process: first, cups are applied to create suction, and second, small cuts are made to draw out a small amount of blood with another suction to remove what is believed to be “morbid humor” or toxins.Â
How it works
- Initial suction:Â Cups are placed on the skin to create a vacuum and pull the skin upward, increasing blood flow to the area.
- Minor incisions:Â After the first suction, the cups are removed, and the therapist makes small, sterile scratches on the skin.
- Blood extraction:Â A second suction is applied to draw out a small quantity of blood, which is believed to carry away toxins and stagnant fluids.Â
