Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice used in traditional medicine systems. It involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction helps stimulate blood flow, relieve muscle tension, evacuates morbid matter / humors / toxins and promotes healing.Its history dates back thousands of years and it is said, “The best medicine with which you treat yourselves is HIJAMA”. It is done on specific days of lunar calendar.
