Hijama cupping therapy began in ancient China and has been used for centuries to reduce muscle tension and support the body’s natural healing. This treatment helps with many health problems by improving energy flow and removing blockages in the body. The session often starts with a light massage using olive oil or black seed oil. Then, warm cups are placed on problem areas to create gentle suction for about 5 to 20 minutes.
Here are some key benefits of Hijama cupping therapy:
Each session begins with a short consultation. The therapist will ask about your health history, current symptoms, and goals for the session. This helps create a treatment plan that suits your body’s needs.
A light oil, such as black seed or olive oil, is applied to the skin. This allows the cups to move smoothly if needed and prevents discomfort. The therapist will then choose the right size and number of cups for the treatment.
Cups are gently placed on the skin. Suction is created either with gentle heat or a small hand pump. You may feel a light pulling or tight feeling under the cup, which usually fades after a few moments.
The cups usually stay on the skin for 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the type of therapy and your comfort. Some treatments may include moving the cups along the skin, which is known as “sliding” or “moving cupping.”
Once the cups are removed, you might see round marks on the skin. These are not painful and are a normal response to the suction. The color and shape of the marks may give the therapist helpful information about your body’s condition. Some people feel relaxed or sleepy after the session, while others feel more awake and refreshed.
Drink plenty of water after the session. This helps your body flush out toxins that were released during the treatment.
Give your body time to recover. Light rest is recommended, especially if you feel tired or sore. Most people feel better within a few hours.
Keep the treated areas warm and covered. Avoid wind, cold air, and air conditioning directly on your back or skin for the next 24 to 48 hours.
Do not take hot showers, use steam rooms, or do hard physical activity for at least 24 hours. Your skin may be more sensitive, and your body needs time to adjust.
If your skin feels sore or dry, you can apply a gentle natural oil like coconut oil, olive oil, or aloe vera. Wear loose clothing to keep pressure off the treated areas.
The round marks from the cups may last anywhere from a few hours to several days. These marks are not bruises and should not cause pain. They are a natural part of the healing process and show that blood flow has improved in those areas.
