Treating Ailments with the Help of a Different Procedure
There are times when people want to try out ancient ways to treat their ailments or just for the sake of wellness. Often these types of traditional treatments and therapies reduce our dependence on medication. Cupping is one such remedial process in which cups are placed on the skin. This therapy can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian, Chinese and Middle East cultural roots. There are many old books that stand proof of this fact.
Cupping has another name, Hijama UK. This word is derived from Arabic and it actually means ‘sucking or vacuum’. There are practitioners who stick thoroughly to the old method and others use the new version. In the older version only six optimal points of the body is used to provide the therapy. Horns or cups are heated to create negative pressure and this is utilized to draw out blood and pus. But the modern technique uses sterilized plastic cups with a pump for producing that internal vacuum.
The Prophet (PBUH) himself practiced the therapy. So it is a Sunnah that if followed can bring one nearer to Allah. Not only this, the therapy has many advantages and is capable of treating many diseases. One latest research prove that Hijama UK makes the immune system strong, betters the flow of nutrition to the affected tissues and also makes the organs more active .
But a trained, skilled and experienced practitioner is a must requirement if anybody is interested in going through this therapy. There are certain requirements that should be met before starting off with the procedure. One cannot practice this therapy at an unclean place and with used equipments. The entire place where the therapy is done should be disinfected first and the practitioner must always use glove during the therapy. The things that are needed for the procedure should be new and after use these must be discarded immediately.
This therapy can be done anywhere on the body and but initially it was used only for treating ache and pain.
