My first ever Hijama! well for those of you who are cluless of what it is, Hijama is a therapy that comes from the Arabic root "sucking; vacuum". In other alternative medicines Hijama is also known as cupping or bloodletting, but the difference between these and Hijama is that with Hijama only the surface of the skin is scratched and then glass cups are placed on the specific spot and a vacuum is made to gently draw the blood out.
This therapy works with the body’s condition and balances it. The body may be suffering from sluggish organs, or be in need of detoxification, and either way Hijama is an effective treatment. Hijama therapy is even known to have helped women ovulate and thus, fall pregnant. As Hijama therapy directly removes a small amount of blood from the patient it also detoxifies the blood, stimulates the body’s immune system and helps blood to flow more freely. It is known to relieve pain including migraine and back ache and is also the best preventive treatment available
According to the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) there are certain places on the body that should have this treatment even if the individual is well, as a preventive medicine. There are also recommended times to perform Hijama and other times when Hijama should not be performed unless there is necessity.
Hijama should be done at the back of the neck, and between the two shoulder blades as is shows on my back as this connects the brain to the rest of the body and it brings oxygen into the brain and helps the body to repair itself. This is also the place where toxins accumulate. Moreover, it strengthens the lymphatic system.
please for those of you who are so ignorant to islam please do look it up because i got many reviews that it's just a "cult" performance. but please do not try and do it yourself. ask for professional people or if you are interested i can recommend clinics or people that can come to your house. just drop me a line on my email asking about Hijama.
