INCREASES IMMUNE SYSTEM FUNCTION
In a reviewIn a review of an ancient cupping therapy technique called Al-hijamah, which is a wet cupping technique, Egyptian and Saudi Arabian researchers say that the therapy may be a promising treatment for increasing immunity of human body, potentiating pharmacological effects of modern drugs and clearing blood from pathological substances causing and related to pathogenesis of many diseases.The research showed that the cupping therapy helped increase immune system function by 156% when it was added to conventional pharmacological treatment.Without the drug therapy, cupping increased immune system natural killer cell response by 133%. of an ancient cupping therapy technique called Al-hijamah, which is a wet cupping technique, Egyptian and Saudi Arabian researchers say that the therapy may be a promising treatment for increasing immunity of human body, potentiating pharmacological effects of modern drugs and clearing blood from pathological substances causing and related to pathogenesis of many diseases.The research showed that the cupping therapy helped increase immune system function by 156% when it was added to conventional pharmacological treatment.Without the drug therapy, cupping increased immune system natural killer cell response by 133%.
REDUCES CHRONIC PAIN
The joint Egyptian and Saudi Arabian study also found that chronic pain intensity reported by patients was reduced by the use of hijama/cupping therapy.The amount of pain that was reported by patients seeking help decreased by almost 34% after one month of treatment with cupping, 40% after two months, and 59% after three months of therapy.This was found to be true for people experiencing rheumatoid arthritis and the benefits are believed to extend to other types of chronic pain as well.
VIRAL AND BACTERIAL ILLNESSES DEFENSES IMPROVE
Herpes, influenza, viral hepatitis, acne, dermatitis, and cellulitis are all health problems that can also be improved by hijama/cupping therapy.The ways that cupping works to improve health are complex because the treatment works on multiple bodily systems at once.In the neurological system, neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, endorphins are all released during therapy.In the immune system, the temporary skin irritation activates the immune function which then increases interferons, tumor necrotizing factor, and increases the flow of lymphatic fluid.
REDUCED RATES OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
Systolic hypertension, heart failure, vascular leg blood clots, myocardial ischemia and arrhythmia, and even myocardial infarction or heart attack instances were reduced by the use of cupping therapy as reported by the Egyptian-Arabian study.
DECREASED HEADACHES
Headache and migraine pain can be so debilitating that people can miss work and have a financial impact due to the pain that they experience.People may also miss out on fun social activities and hobbies that they used to enjoy due to their chronic headaches.The good news is that hijama/cupping works to improve the health of those dealing with headache pain.
A joint research study between the Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in Iran and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA studied wet cupping therapy as a remedy for headaches.They say that for patients who tried the therapy 3 times over a 28 day period, ‘headache severity decreased by 66% following wet-cupping treatment.Treated patients also experienced the equivalent of 12.6 fewer days of headache per month.We conclude that #Hijama_Wet_Cupping leads to clinical relevant benefits for primary care patients with headache.
