How Hijama Works
Hijama is a therapeutic, natural, holistic treatment that has been around for centuries but recently returned to prominence thanks to Olympic Gold medalist Michael Phelps’ advocacy.
Reflexology stimulates reflex zones to promote blood circulation and boost immunity while relieving pain and pressure. While it can provide temporary relief for people experiencing fainting or seizures, its use should not be done if these issues have an increased potential to worsen further.
Wet Hijama
Hijama draws out excess water retention, phlegm, and stagnant blood while unblocking lymphatic systems. This clears inflammation while stimulating release of Nitric Oxide by endothelial cells of blood vessels to enhance oxygen delivery to cells throughout the body.
Cleansing can help remove old red blood cells, toxins, and oxidative debris from tissues while helping lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels and increasing white blood cells to fight infection.
Hijama strengthens immunity and increases oxygen in the blood, by helping your body eliminate harmful heavy metals like mercury, lead and cadmium that accumulate naturally but in high amounts within our bodies – these heavy metals include mercury, lead and cadmium which can be hazardous if they accumulate too quickly. In addition, hijama lowers elevated liver enzymes while simultaneously decreasing kidney creatinine levels helping manage chronic renal disease more effectively.
History
Wet cupping or Hijama dates back to ancient Egypt and is documented in their medical texts such as Ebers Papyrus dating from 1550 B.C. The Ancient Greeks also made use of it, most notably Hippocrates of Kos. Later it was adopted into Traditional Chinese Medicine practice.
Hijama differs from bloodletting by drawing blood through suction to an area of the body in need of detoxification or removal of stagnation for detoxification purposes and was recommended by Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alihi wa sallam).
Cupping therapy has long been considered a holistic form of preventative healthcare and an integral component of Islamic teachings and tradition. Hijama should be promoted, understood, and used properly by qualified medical professionals.
Benefits
Hijama benefits are numerous. From skin issues to sciatic pain relief, hijama can provide much-needed relief. Furthermore, its application may improve female reproductive health by decreasing menstrual cramps while attenuating chronic fatigue syndrome symptoms.
Hijama therapy also aids in flushing toxins out of the blood by drawing them closer to the surface using suction cups. Hijama may help varicose and spider veins by improving circulation.
Hijama’s negative pressure creates an anti-inflammatory effect in the body by loosening muscles, releasing vasodilators, and activating autonomic nervous system. Furthermore, Hijama can change acidic blood to pH balanced blood, treating numerous blood disorders while strengthening immunity and fighting autoimmune diseases by eliminating urea, histamines, lactic acid, prostaglandins, cancer cells, heavy metals from body.
Side Effects
Hijama is a safe, non-invasive procedure involving making small incisions into the skin to enable blood and clots to be drawn up through suction cups placed under small incisions in order to draw them up for extraction. These cups are then taken off after cleaning the area to ensure all traces of blood or clots have been eliminated from circulation.
Hijama treatments vary depending on an individual’s age and health condition; generally speaking however, hijama sessions have the ability to lower high blood pressure by decreasing the total volume of deoxygenated blood circulating throughout their bodies.
Hijama improves quality of life for people living with hypertension by relieving associated muscle pain and stiffness, thanks to its ability to flush away toxins that contribute to their discomfort.
