Cupping therapy is a traditional practice of alternative medicine which dates back to ancient Egypt. It was a prevalent practice throughout the history of the Ancient Egyptians, Chinese Dynasties and Persian Empire. It is the process of placing cups, traditionally made from either glass, bamboo or animal horn, over areas of the body and using negative pressure to create a 'suction' effect.

 

It has been used for centuries as a method to alleviate pain, inflammation, muscle stiffness and illness. There are now many forms of cupping therapy available that use modern techniques and each type is beneficial in it's own unique way. The most highly practiced type used today is wet cupping, also known as Hijama (Arabic).

​

Hijama is the process of drawing out old blood containing toxins from the body, by use of local suction, over areas of skin where small incisions have been made. This unique method of therapy not only removes toxins, but also stimulates the body's immune response to increase blood flow to the cupped areas, which in turn improves circulation, relieves pain and facilitates healing.
