What is cupping?<\/a><\/h2>

Cupping at Sharjah International Holistic Health Centre is considered one of the most effective complementary medicines, and it is done as a prophylactic cupping usually twice per year or as a medical cupping to help in the treatment of some diseases.<\/p>

Our hijama (Cupping) treatment in Sharjah is known to improve blood circulation and alleviate pain in injured areas. It is a process of blood withdrawal from the surface of the skin, with or without causing scratches. We superficially scratch capillaries to release toxins and free radicals.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>

History of Cupping Therapy<\/a><\/h3>

Cupping therapy, commonly referred to as hijama, has been around for thousands of years. It developed over time from the original use of hollowed out animal horns (the Horn Method) to treat boils and suck out the toxins from snakebites and skin lesions. Horns slowly evolved into bamboo cups, which were eventually replaced by glass. Therapeutic applications evolved with the refinement of the cup itself and with the cultures that employed cupping as a health care technique.<\/p>

The true origin of cupping still remains uncertain to this day. Some consider the Chinese to be responsible for cupping; however, the earliest pictorial records date back to the ancient Egyptians around 1500 B.C. Translations of hieroglyphics in the Ebers Papyrus, the oldest medical text book, detail the use of cupping for treating fever, pain, vertigo, menstrual imbalances, weakened appetite, and helping to accelerate the healing crisis.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

Types of Cupping<\/a><\/h3>

Dry Cupping<\/strong><\/p>

The cupping procedure commonly involves creating a small area of mild negative pressure next to the skin. However, there is variety in the tools used, the method of creating the low pressure, and the procedures followed during the treatment.<\/p>

Wet cupping<\/strong><\/p>

In this alternative form of bloodletting or medicinal bleeding, also called blood cupping or surgical cupping, a small scratch or incision is made with a lancet prior to the cupping, and the pressure difference extracts blood from the skin.<\/p>

Movable Cupping<\/strong><\/p>

The cupping therapy usually begins with a body massage process using some oils, and then many cups are placed in the affected areas. The cups should be moved circularly.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
