More about Hijama
Hijama (wet cupping therapy) is thought to assist in removing a range of substances and impurities from the body. While scientific evidence is still evolving, traditional medicine and some studies suggest that the following toxins and harmful substances may be targeted during hijama:
- Metabolic Waste Products
Lactic acid: Builds up in muscles after strenuous activity, leading to soreness and stiffness.
Urea: A byproduct of protein metabolism that the body must eliminate through urine or sweat.
Creatinine: A waste product from muscle metabolism that can accumulate if kidney function is impaired.
- Oxidative Stress Markers
Free radicals: Unstable molecules that damage cells and contribute to aging and chronic diseases.
Inflammatory cytokines: Excess levels of these signaling proteins promote inflammation and tissue damage.
- Heavy Metals
Lead, mercury, and cadmium: These accumulate in the body due to environmental exposure (e.g., air pollution, processed foods, or contaminated water) and may be linked to fatigue, poor immunity, and organ damage.
- Environmental and Dietary Toxins
Pesticides and herbicides: Residues from food or water consumption that stress the liver and detox pathways.
Chemical additives: Found in processed foods and linked to hormonal disruption and inflammation.
- Stagnant Blood and Impurities
Hijama practitioners believe the suction and incisions remove "stagnant blood" that contains:
• Dead blood cells.
• Excess lipids (fats) or cholesterol that may contribute to poor circulation.
• Cellular debris and metabolic byproducts.
- Hormonal Byproducts
Hijama may support the clearance of excess cortisol (the stress hormone) and other hormonal residues, promoting balance in the endocrine system.
- Microbial Toxins
By improving immune function and circulation, hijama can help eliminate:
Toxins released by bacteria, fungi, or viruses.
Byproducts from infections that impair detoxification.
Scientific Evidence
Some studies have shown that hijama may reduce:
Inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein (CRP).
Elevated blood sugar and cholesterol levels, indirectly reducing toxin buildup.
Note
While hijama can complement the body's detox systems, it does not directly detoxify all substances. Instead, it supports the body's natural elimination pathways (liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, and skin).
Hijama (wet cupping therapy), when combined with lifestyle modifications and targeted herbal support, can serve as an effective approach to promoting healing and managing various health conditions including long term chronic illnesses.
