Cupping Therapy - الحجامة

Cupping therapy dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures.

Dry cupping is a method by which suction is created on particular points on the patient’s body. Suction could be created by using heat to warm the cups so that the cooling air inside the cup creates a vacuum that tugs the skin upwards. Other methods of creating suction include using an air pump to siphon air out of the cup. In today’s times, glass cups are used so that the therapist can monitor the condition of the skin. Medical grade silicone cups are also used because of their pliability.
