Cupping Therapy (Hijama)

What is Cupping Therapy (Hijama)?

Cupping therapy, which has a history of three thousand years, is frequently used in ailments known as muscle spasm. A high amount of lactic acid accumulates in the muscles that work or contract for a long time and cause fatigue. With cupping therapy, the blood circulation in the hardened area is increased, and lactic acid is removed and excreted through the urine. Thanks to the bruising caused by vacuuming in cupping treatment, the body directs all the constructive and healing chemicals it has to that area. All muscle, joint and nerve structures are refreshed and a healthy body is achieved.
