The word "hijama" means "drawing out" in Arabic. It is now being recognized as alternative medicine and alternative way of treating different diseases and disorders.

In a non- surgical procedure, toxic or bad blood is drawn out from the body. Certain points on the body are for certain organs. In these points, blood is being accumulated under cups. Small incisions (1.5mm -2mm) deep are done on the Epidermis layer of skin. Bad, Deoxogenated blood is sucked out by using a little vacuum" suction.

The human body works in systems. There is a Circulatory System ( blood system) among all other systems. In the Circulatory system, blood is running through veins and arteries to support all of our body organs with blood. We have oxygenated fresh blood that is being pumped away from the heart running through arteries that are supplying all our organs with oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells and organs. Veins are carrying deoxygenated and waste blood back to the heart and lung to get cleaned and filtered by the assistance of lung. Capillaries are the level where the exchange of both arteries and veins is happening. This is Hijama- Wet cupping's- role. It helps to remove bad blood from the body system leaves it "load free" to allow the body to focus and function better.
