Hijama :  Also known as wet cupping or blood cupping, is a type of alternative medicine that involves using cups to draw blood from the skin to treat a variety of conditions and/or for general detox: 

• Procedure :

  A  qualified & registered hijama practitioner or therapist places cups on the skin to create suction, which draws the skin and tissue into the cup. After a few minutes, the cup is removed and the skin is scratched with a sterile scalpel. The cup is then replaced to draw out a small amount of blood. 

• Benefits :

  Hijama is said to reduce pain and inflammation, improve blood flow, and increase range of motion. It's also used to treat conditions like migraines and hay fever etc . Hijama cupping is often combined with another therapy at the Shifa Active Health Clinic for certain patient types to enhance the healing effect.
