frequently asked questions

Hijama or Cupping is the modern term for an ancient medical therapy wherein a partial vacuum is created in cups which can be positioned onto the surface of the body. The vacuum is created by either heat or suction which draws up the skin, subcutaneous tissue and muscle layers a couple of millimetres into the cups.

The negative pressure that translates into the body’s tissues encourages blood flow, the release of toxins and the elimination of waste and has been discovered to have an effect on the body as much as 4 inches deep through the tissues.
