What is Cupping or Hijama?

Therapy with a history

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice with a history spanning over 2,000 years. Originating in Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern medicine, it has been trusted for centuries to promote recovery and rejuvenation.

This therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create gentle suction, improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. There are two main types: dry cupping, which focuses on muscle recovery and relaxation, and wet cupping (Hijama), which removes stagnant blood to detoxify the body.

Cupping is a natural and effective solution for relieving pain, reducing stress, and enhancing overall wellness. Whether you’re an athlete seeking faster recovery or someone looking to feel lighter and healthier, cupping offers a path to balance and vitality.
