Cupping hijama is a practice highly recommended by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ for many ailments that a person may suffer from.
Hadith (bukhari)
"The Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed the best of remedies you have is Hijama"
Dry Cupping This is the process of using a vacuum on different areas of the body in order to gather the blood in that area without incisions (i.e. small cuts)
Dry massage Cupping This is similar to dry Cupping but in this type of Cupping Olive Oil is applied to the skin before applying the cups in order to allow easy movement of the cups
Wet Cupping This is the process of using a vacuum on different points of the body but with incisions in order to remove 'harmful' blood which lies just beneath the surface of the skin. It is highly recommended that wet Cupping only be administered by a cupping therapist.
