Hijama / Wet Cupping is often misunderstood as “just an ancient practice,” but modern research shows significant physiological benefits that align with what healers have known for thousands of years.

Today, Hijama / Wet Cupping is being studied for its effectiveness in pain relief, reducing inflammation, promoting detoxification, and improving circulation.

Improved Blood Circulation

Studies show that the suction from cupping helps:

  • Increase microcirculation
  • Stimulate capillary expansion
  • Enhance oxygen delivery
  • Remove metabolic waste

This improves recovery and physical performance.

Reduction of Inflammation

Wet cupping removes inflammatory mediators and stagnant blood, which may help reduce:

  • Chronic inflammation
  • Joint pain
  • Muscle soreness
  • Autoimmune-related discomfort

Many clients report relief within hours.

Pain Reduction

Cupping therapy is being used in:

  • Pain clinics
  • Physiotherapy
  • Athletic recovery

It stimulates the nervous system, releasing natural pain-killing chemicals like endorphins.

Detoxification Through Negative Pressure

Hijama’s suction pulls stagnant blood and toxins to the surface, allowing the body to remove them efficiently. This is why many clients feel:

  • Lighter
  • Clearer mentally
  • Less bloated
  • More energetic

Hormonal & Emotional Balance

Some studies suggest Hijama may:

  • Reduce cortisol
  • Improve serotonin regulation
  • Enhance sleep quality

Clients often describe feeling emotionally “reset.”
