Hijama has stimulating and strengthening properties, and as a result, it successfully treats the following conditions:
The importance of the skin
Skin issues
Even though hijama could be a very easy procedure, its effects are wonderful. Our health and well-being are attached to the immune system and are altogether obsessed with the flow of blood, chi (energy), and body fluids like hormones and lymphatic fluid. According to traditional medicine, each of these symptoms is the result of stagnation. The cups utilised in Hijama have a beautiful pulling power, and this can be a dramatic technique for reducing pain and enhancing the sensation of well-being.
Any stimulation that’s directed to influence and manipulate the inner or external organs should start with the skin. The body’s first contact with the outside world is through the skin, and its faithful say that the skin is the mirror of our health. If a person has good health, his or her skin is going to be shiny, tight, and smooth, and might answer the temperature question and be warm once touched. The skin protects the body from pathogens and plays a role in a variety of body functions. It’s the organ of sensation, with several millions of nerve endings contained in its structure.
The main fourteen channels with an immediate link to the internal organs lie inside the skin. When stimulating a selected purpose through hijama, the organ’s blood and QI are manipulated. In Chinese medication, the skin is directly controlled and influenced by the lungs. The lungs spread QI and fluids everywhere in the body through the skin.

Blood
Blood is remodelled from the essence of food through the practical activity of chi, which circulates through the blood vessels and nourishes the body tissue. Blood is derived from food and chi and is created by the spleen.
Qi
Qi is the invisible vital force, like air and wind. The West tries to define qi as “the energy of life,” “vital force,” “life force,” or “energy,” but there’s no Western equivalent. When we are sick, we tend to feel weak and low on energy; once we recover, we feel much more energetic and far stronger. Thus, we all experience the existence of qi continuously.
Movement of any kind needs qi, and sometimes this can manifest as heat. Coldness is represented by a lack of energy.When treating a disease at the energy level, the external infectious agent remains at the skin’s surface, and the body’s overall resistance remains high.
High fever, cough with fine yellow mucus, wheezing, and thirst are some clinical manifestations. Hijama treatment at this level is incredibly effective.
Stagnation
Stagnation of body systems will be the result of lack of movement, injury, stress, an absence of blood or chi, or the invasion of cold into the body and joints. Cold drinks and foods, as well as irregular feeding habits, can lead to accumulation issues. All these impair the spleen’s functions of transformation and transportation. Clinical manifestations of this are restlessness, vomiting, the production of phlegm, diarrhoea, constipation, a hardened abdomen, and a painful abdomen. Hijama relieves these symptoms.
Regardless of the cause, hijama will be applied to specific points of the body to the dysfunctional area, similar to acupuncture. After a short time, the patient can feel heat, and there will be a reduction of pain.
Fluids within the body may become stagnant, and they are necessary to help the abdomen carry out its correct digestive function.
Hijama therapy regulates the flow of chi and blood. It also helps to draw out and eliminate pathogenic factors like wind, cold, damp, and warmth. Hijama also moves energy and blood and opens the pores of the skin, thus helping the removal of pathogens through the skin.
Beauty therapy Hijama is also useful in beauty therapy because it stimulates hormone production and increases blood flow and liquid body substance movement in the bowels and internal organs. Toxins are removed during this method, which is important because toxins accelerate the ageing process and cause other negative conditions.
Aging
Authentic holistic therapy rebalances all aspects of the body. When individual cells dry out or are overexposed to sunlight, the ageing process accelerates. Kidney weakness also accelerates the ageing process and results in dry and damaged hair, early greying, or hair loss. The imbalance in women also manifests itself at the first signs of menopause with hot flashes, night sweats, and dry skin. Simply applying external lotion to the skin or hair doesn’t access the root cause.
Impacts that stimulate and reinforce
The benefits of hijama are uncountable because of its stimulating and strengthening effects. It has cured intestinal problems, headaches, back pain, arthritis, menstrual pain, injuries, asthma, cellulite, exhaustion, anaemia, depression, and other ailments, ladies’ problems.
The negative role of toxins in the degeneration of health is of increasing importance. Even though modern medicine has eradicated several epidemics, civilizational diseases (metabolism diseases) are on the rise. These diseases are caused by the large amounts of chemicals that a person is exposed to throughout his or her life. A recent American statistic on food additives shows a 100-pound intake per person in their lifetime. The average American takes about a thousand tablets a year. This can be a health catastrophe. Modern medicine differs greatly from its ancestors, who maintained that body functions are interrelated in a network.
Toxins and pollutants are released
One of the main functions of Hijama treatment is that it releases toxins with the least possible stress to internal organs. In addition, it directly de-acidifies tissues, enhances blood circulation, stimulates the immune system, and reduces stress as a result of releasing chemicals inside the brain that reduce stress and depression. Another good thing about the hijama is that it facilitates a sufficient flow of nutrition to affected tissues and stimulates blood and lymphatic flow to the affected area. During this process, it improves blood and lymph flow and activates the functions of the organs. Performing hijama on the corresponding organ points is used to treat disorders like liver and urinary organ issues, respiratory diseases, digestive disorders, and a few gynaecological disorders.
In ancient times, hijama did not have specific indications and was generally used to drain blood and pus from abscesses and suction blood from poisoned wounds and snakebites.
However, in later times, this therapy was expanded to include illnesses associated with internal medicine like pulmonary tuberculosis, rheumatism, abdominal pain, abdomen ache, indigestion, headache, cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, lumbago, backache, swelling, eye pain, and boils. In some places, hijama therapy was used in conjunction with acupuncture. Today, hijama is used to treat colds, respiratory organ infections, and problems in the internal organs. It’s also used to treat muscle spasms, particularly in the back. It can even be used to treat painful joints, stomach-aches, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Since Hijama stimulates the flow of blood, it helps treat blood stagnation, poor circulation, and unhealthy conditions.
Immunity
Hijama strengthens the body’s resistance and eliminates unhealthful factors, preventing illness. It also regulates blood function and promotes overall good health. By creating localised bruising, it activates the body’s defensive cells to heal the bruised area.
The cardiovascular system’s impact
Hijama also has a positive impact on the circulatory system. Due to the pull of low pressure, the flow of blood in arteries and veins will increase, and in the veins, localised congested blood will appear then disappear. With hijama, it’s possible to ease the interruption of blood circulation and congestion and to eliminate the inflammatory fluids from the tissues. The greatest characteristic of hijama is the facilitation of blood flow.
Effect on muscles
The pull of low pressure Hijama activates the blood vessels among the muscles. The growth of the blood vessels in the muscles facilitates the flow of blood and has an outstanding effect on stiff shoulders. The skin will glow after wearing a hijama due to the increased skin temperature and blood flow to the muscles.
Consequences for health
Hijama is effective against almost every illness. Here are some of the most common
Pain-related conditions
Hijama eases pain, particularly that which is related to headaches, menstrual cramps, dental pain, tennis elbow, muscle pain, back pain, and sciatica.
Headache and migraine
In the eighteenth century, hijama was considered a good remedy for headaches, and it was highly recommended for migraine. The Prophet Mohammad used hijama as a treatment for migraine.
Rheumatic diseases
Many rheumatic disorders simply disappear after a couple of sessions of Hijama. It has an excellent effect on back and joint issues and is very useful for conditions like rheumatism, backache, and stiff necks and shoulders. As a result, it will increase blood circulation and mobility. By supplying a lot of O, hormones, and essential enzymes to native tissues and joints, Hijama keeps native tissues warm, which increases elasticity and flexibility in muscles and joints. It also relieves muscle spasms and stiffness in muscles and, therefore, the pain that’s related to them. It has a remarkable impact on a stiff (frozen) shoulder. It is also useful for chronic joint rheumatism since it improves blood flow to the joints. It additionally removes full blood and solves issues that can’t be resolved with treatment
Arthritis
Initially, hijama was recommended for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and pain, as well as arthritis. When treating an inflammatory disease, the treatment focuses on the affected joints. If it’s a mild case, it’s possible to own an entire cure.
Low back pain
Hijama relieves low back pain, and in chronic cases, it is used alongside treatment.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome is long-standing, severe fatigue without substantial muscle weakness or well-tested physical or psychological causes. Hijama treatment has been found to be beneficial.
Gastrointestinal diseases
The abdomen, spleen, and intestines are considered the most necessary engines of the human body. From these areas, the natural healing power of the body draws its energy.
Dry hijama stimulates the insides of these organs, their movement, and the secretion of digestive fluids, which strengthens digestion, nutrient absorption, and thus secretion power. It provides relief from chronic gastroenteritis and constipation. These organs also have the benefit of Hijama treatment applied to the rear, which stimulates the spinal nerves and automatic nerves as well as strengthening the muscles of the respiratory system.
Urinary diseases
Hijama is known to treat stones, abscesses, and urine retention. Cupping is applied to the lumbar region to treat urine retention
Psychological diseases
Hijama is like massage and is effective against anxiety and stress (worry). Hence, sleep disorders are treated with hijama in conjunction with massage. It also helps to regulate hormones, which is particularly beneficial in the treatment of depression.
Contraindications
Hijama shouldn’t be performed on open wounds or around skin ulcers. It’s contraindicated on irritated skin, over allergic skin, or where any skin lesions are present. It should even be avoided by elderly people with skinny, delicate skin. Hijama should not be worn if the patient has a bleeding disorder. Hijama is also ineffective if the patient has severe cardiovascular disease. Hijama is not advised for pregnant or planning to become pregnant women. Please consult your medical doctor if you have specific health concerns.
