What Hijama In US Entails

By Edward Wright


HIjama refers to an Arabic word with the translation sucking in the English language. It is a process in Arabic traditional medicine which involves using suction to draw blood from the body through tiny incisions on the skin. Muhammad endorsed the process as being the best medicine according to Muslim religious writings. Hijama is now being practiced in all parts of the world even in western countries. The history of Hijama in US is still relatively young.

The process of hijama can be done on any part of the body. In most cases, it is performed at sites where pain is being experienced in order to reduce of alleviate the pain. Over use of this procedure is warned against, with suggestions recommending only six points on the body as optimal for cleaning the whole cardiovascular system.

Before the process is started, site preparation is done by shaving it clean. Shaving allows the cup and skin to make a tight seal. Glass, plastic, and metal are some of the materials commonly used to make cups. Horns were the traditional objects used in ancient times. A seal is formed between the prepared site and the cup when it is placed in place. The mouth of the cup may be installed with cotton or paper to make clinging happen better.

The free end of the cup is sucked by the practitioner using their mouth. Use of machines for sucking is rising among modern practitioners. Fire is also still in use by more traditional practitioners who still believe in curative and healing powers of the fire. The cup is retained on the skin for some time and then remove. The skin is then cut before replacing the cup in position to allow blood to flow into it. When blood stops flowing, the cup can be removed.

Scientific research has found that hijama has the ability to reduce pain in some cases. However, its efficiency is limited to specific conditions since it was found to have no effect for stroke rehabilitation. Most research studies concluded that the procedure is more effective when used in combination with other medical therapies from conventional medicine. It is known to have a significant reduction effect on laboratory disease markers.

The procedure is known to treat or reduce severity of many medical conditions including chronic tension, nonspecific low back pain, herpetic neuralgia, and migraine headache. A reduction in frequency and severity of headaches has been reported among patients of migraine headaches. There are also claims that this process can treat cancer. However, there is no scientific evidence in support of such claims, which makes them wrong.

Many people often confuse hijama and bloodletting, although the two are different techniques. In bloodletting, veins are cut to bleed blood from the patient whereas as hijama relies on suction to draw blood into the cup. Some of the practitioners that performed the process in ancient worlds include barbers, surgeons, and bath house attendants.

The major side effect of this process is pain due to skin cuts. Precaution needs to be taken in order to avoid infection. The tools used should be sterilized and kept in good hygienic condition for safety purposes.
