What is Hijama? A common question asked by many people that are unaware of this ancient technique that withholds countless benefits.

Hijama(bloodletting) therapy, which is also known as wet cupping, is a historic method of detoxing and rehabilitating the human circulatory system.

As humans we have two different bloods in our body; within our veins we have fresh blood that pumps nutrients, oxygen and many other beneficial sources around our body so that our organs can function efficiently. We also have another type of blood in our body which is known as stagnated blood (toxic blood) which is not flowing around and is full of toxins.

Hijama allows us to eliminate the congested blood by making small incisions and then applying cups to the area and letting the vacuum extract the blood from the body. The blood that has been removed from your body has a distinct appearance as it is a dark jelly-like clot which is clearly unhealthy but once removed it leaves you feeling physically lighter and and instantly healthier as there are no longer toxins in your blood and fresh blood continues to circulate.

Hijama is an ancient treatment method for many illnesses. It is practised even today to remove toxins from the body. From athletes to celebrities, many use this method for its excellent benefits.
