Hijama Treatment
- Therapeutic Hijjama has its roots in the Islamic traditions, it is a controlled medicinal bleeding method and a holistic treatment that removes intoxicated blood from the body, it is done by puncturing the skin with sterile fine needles then sterile cups are placed over the punctures to suction the blood.
- Hijjama improves circulation and sluggish blood flow by extracting the older blood in your body, the body gets a chance to rejuvenate and push the body to make new blood cells. Also, the blood removed is full of toxins from the body and the environment (food additives, pollution etc.). The suction from the cups helps to pull all the muscles, skin, and blood into negative pressure which helps with muscle aches and pain
- The Islamic tradition says that Whoever performs Hijjama in the 17th, 19th and 21st day of the Islamic Lunar month can get a lot of health benefits. The most suitable days for doing Hijjama are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.
- Some research explain that as The moon has a pull effect on the earth and it reaches the climax of its effect when it is full-moon, it affects blood pressure producing higher level of the pressure and stimulating the blood circulation, so from the first day until of the fifteenth day, blood-flow is stimulated and it reaches its maximal limit and eventually it pokes all the blood residues and impurities which precipitated along the walls of the deep and superficial and in all the ramifications of the blood vessels in the tissues. But when the moon begins to decrease from (17 – 27), the blood can carry these residues and impurities to the calmest parts of the body where they settle in the shoulder blades area. This situation has an excellent effect in performing a successful and profitable cupping operation to release the body from its impure blood.
