Hijama Treatment (Cupping Therapy): A Timeless Healing Practice
Hijama, also known as wet cupping therapy, is an ancient medical practice with roots in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda, Unani, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. This therapeutic technique involves creating suction on the skin to draw out stagnant blood, toxins, and impurities from the body. By doing so, it promotes natural healing, improves blood circulation, and restores balance to the body.
How Does Hijama Work?
Suction Creation:
Special cups are placed on specific points of the body. These points are carefully selected based on the condition being treated. A vacuum is created inside the cups using a pump or heat, causing the skin to rise and blood to collect under the cup.Incisions and Toxin Removal:
After a few minutes, the cups are removed, and tiny incisions are made on the skin’s surface. The cups are reapplied to extract a small amount of blood containing toxins and impurities.Healing Process:
The body’s natural healing process is activated, leading to improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced well-being.

Leech Therapy: An Ancient Healing Practice for Modern Times
Leech therapy, or hirudotherapy, is a time-honored medicinal practice that uses live, medical-grade leeches to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and support natural healing. This therapy, deeply rooted in traditional medicine, has regained popularity due to its effectiveness in treating a variety of health conditions.
How Does Leech Therapy Work?
Application of Leeches:
Sterilized, medical-grade leeches are gently applied to specific areas of the body based on the condition being treated.Therapeutic Process:
The leeches attach to the skin and release a cocktail of bioactive substances, including:- Hirudin: A natural anticoagulant that prevents blood clotting.
- Anti-inflammatory agents: To reduce swelling and promote healing.
- Pain-relieving compounds: To alleviate discomfort during and after the treatment.
Blood Flow Stimulation:
The leeches draw a small amount of blood, enhancing circulation and allowing fresh, oxygen-rich blood to reach affected areas.Detachment and Recovery:
Once satiated, the leeches naturally detach. The process is safe and minimally invasive, with no lasting marks on the skin.
