Benefits of Cupping therapy Before listing the benefits of cupping therapy, it is important to first look at the skin and its relation to the internal organs, the lymphatic and the immune system. Skin Any topical stimulus destined to influence and manipulate internal or external organs must start at the skin level. The skin is our largest organ, containing fluid, blood, blood vessels, connective tissue, muscles and a rich nerve supply. Our body’s first direct contact with the outside world is through the skin. It is also true to say that our skin is the mirror of our health: in good health the skin is shiny, tight and has a smooth texture. It responds to changes in temperature and is generally warm when touched. When the body is unhealthy, a dull, lifeless skin with little natural colour is observed. Apart from protecting the body from external pathogens, the skin has a major role in a number of body functions. It is the main organ of sensation, through millions

cupping therapy  in the Middle East and the Muslim World Cupping is known as ‘Hajama’ in the Arabic world which translates ‘to restore to basic size’ or ‘to diminish in volume’. The Prophet Muhammed PBUH is reported to have been a user and advocate of cupping therapy. It has been reported that the Prophet PBUH said: Cupping and puncturing the veins are your best remedies. The author of Al-Qunun , Ibn Sina, said: ‘cupping is not preferred in the beginning nor the end of the month. It is preferred in the middle of the month when the substances (of the constitution or the condition) accumulate and become agitated. In a different Hadith: ‘ The Prophet PBUH use to have cupping done on the 17th, 19th and 21st day of the lunar month’, the most beneficial time was reported to be 2-3 hours after taking a bath. Fasting a day before the cupping was also recommended. Early Cupping Instruments It is believed that cupping was first used in the ancient practice to suck blood from

Cupping in the Western World and the Middle East The ancient Egyptians were the first to use cupping therapy. The oldest medical text book, written in approximately 1550 BC, in Egypt, describes bleeding by cupping used to ‘remove the foreign matter from the body’. Hippocrates and Galen were also great advocates of cupping. In the early days the technique was used solely for bleeding purposes. There were two schools of thought as far as disease was concerned: a) starve the source of the sickness of the body b) bleed to drain it away Among the Egyptians and various nations, cupping appears to have been considered a remedy for almost every type of disease as well as an important means of preserving life. In the book ‘Galen on Blood letting’, disease and health are defined in terms of nature, ‘Disease is an unnatural state of the body which impairs a function’. This statement ties up with the philosophical principles of Tibb where ‘imbalance occurs as a result of an indi

What is Cupping? Cupping is one of the oldest and most effective methods of releasing toxins from the body’s tissues and organs. Other terms for cupping are: fire cupping, body vacuuming, and the horn method. Cupping is the practice of applying a partial vacuum by means of heat or suction in one or several bellshaped vessels (suction cups) to parts of the skin. This causes the tissues beneath the cup to be drawn up and swell increasing blood flow to the affected area. This enhanced blood flow under the cup draws impurities and toxins away from the nearby tissues and organs towards the surface for elimination. The time the suction cups are left in place varies according to the patient’s age and physical constitution, and the medical disorder being treated. Cupping is a safe, non-invasive and inexpensive technique. It is used to alleviate the pain and discomfort arising from disorders of the lungs and other internal organs, muscle spasms, joint pains, and numerous other c
