Helps in Detoxification
The main cause of many illnesses is the accumulation of acidic toxins and impurities in our blood. This accumulation of toxins and impurities leads to poor circulation of oxygen to the vital organs and to the entire body. This leads to many other serious illnesses that make us feel permanently distressed. How can we stay healthy when the blood circulating in our body is full of toxic waste?

Soothes Digestive Disorders
The stomach, spleen and intestines are considered to be the most important engines of the human body. From these areas, the natural healing power of the body derives its energy. Cupping therapy stimulates the insides of these organs, their movement and secretion of digestive fluids and so strengthens the power of digestion, the absorption of nourishment and the power of secretion.

Better Immunity/ Boost up Immune System
Hijama strengthens the body’s resistance against illnesses by improving our blood cells and boosting immune system. It protects us against Pathogens which cause illness. It kicks off the defensive mechanism of our body. When small incisions are made on the skin, the defensive cells get activated to heal the bruised area. This prepares our body to fight against diseases and prevents illnesses. Hijama (Cupping) is a preventative and a curative natural therapy.
Effects in Nervous System
The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. It is the body's communication system that controls much of what our body does. It allows us to do things like walk, speak, swallow, breathe and learn, and controls how our body reacts in an emergency. Hijama (Cupping) is the natural remedy which expands and clears vessels in the spine, neck and skull, therefore, it promotes excellent blood flow and oxygenation to the brain. A healthy brain in turn, releases neurotransmitters normally. Hijama is a preventative and curative natural therapy which helps our body, mind, spirit and emotions.
Very Effective in Qi
Qi is the invisible life force – like air and wind. The West tries to define Qi as ‘the energy of life’, ‘vital force’, ‘life force’, ‘energy’, but there is no Western equivalent. When we are sick, we feel weak and have a low energy level but when we feel better, we feel more energetic and much stronger. So, we all experience the existence of Qi continuously. Movement of any kind requires Qi and often this is manifested as heat. Lack of energy is signified by cold. When a disease is cured, it means that the body’s overall immune system is good and is not allowing the external infectious agents to enter the skin. Some clinical manifestations of this are a high fever, a cough with thin yellow phlegm, wheezing and thirst. Hijama therapy at this level is very effective and it makes our body healthy and vibrant.
Stimulates inflammation for faster healing
Inflammation refers to your body's process of fighting and healing itself from things that harm it, such as infections, injuries, and toxins. It is one of the key defence mechanisms in our body which helps to heal injury faster. It insists things to be active and works against injuries and illness. When we inflame our muscular injury, it will help to deluge the injured or ill muscles with platelets, nutrients, blood, white blood cells (WBC) along with fibroblasts to aid in healing. Primarily, it works to bring the blood to the affected parts and consequently, it promotes to create new blood vessels. Strategically using Hijama can increase the blood flow to specific areas that need healing. The increased blood and energy flow will lead to recover faster.
Great effects on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common nerve compression syndrome. It is a progressive and miserable condition that interrupts sensation and strength of our hands.

It also relieves muscle spasms and stiffness in muscular tissue and the pain that is associated with it. The recovery rate for back and joint problems, rheumatism, lumbago, stiff neck and frozen shoulders is remarkable.
