Cupping therapy (Hijamath/ Mahaajim) is an ancient Unani medicinal technique/procedure. It’s a type of regimental therapy (Ilaj-bil-had beer) that involves creating a local suction on the skin. This helps to promote healing and treat ailments by increasing blood flow.
It’s a unique approach for removing or diverting morbid humor from a specific area. A horn is affixed to the surface of the affected part’s skin, and a vacuum is used to create negative pressure. The application of heat or suction creates a vacuum.
Cupping was probably first done with animal horns. Cups were later constructed of bamboo and subsequently ceramic.
The use of heat was largely used to create suction. Cups are applied to the skin after heated. The cups sucked the skin within as they cooled. Bell-shaped glass cups are commonly used in modern Cupping. They could also be constructed of silicone or plastic.
Cupping therapy isn’t suitable for all people.
If you’re on blood thinners, avoid cupping.
Cupping therapy must be neglected if you have:
Cupping should be avoided on the following: veins, arteries, nerves, skin irritation or lesions, body orifices, eyes, lymph nodes, and varicose veins.
Most medical professionals lack training or experience in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Even so, if you decide to add Cupping to your treatment plan, it’s a good idea to let your doctor know.
Continue to see your doctor about your condition frequently to obtain the best of both worlds. Cupping should not be used in place of medical treatment, although it can be used in conjunction with it.
