How Weather Influences the Effectiveness of Cupping Treatment

Image
 Hijama can be performed at any time of the year, but traditional medicine suggests that certain weather conditions are more favourable for getting the best results. Photo by zero take on  Unsplash The idea that the body reacts differently to Hijama cupping in each season is an integral part of traditional healing systems, such as Prophetic Medicine, Unani Tibb, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and it also makes scientific sense. Our bodies are constantly working to maintain balance, but factors such as temperature, humidity, and daylight affect how our metabolism, blood flow, immunity, and hormones work. Since Hijama influences the blood, lymph, and nervous system, its effects naturally change with the seasons. As the outside weather changes, the body’s internal balance changes too. In the Unani (Greco-Islamic) system, it’s believed that the body’s natural fluids, or “humours,” shift with the seasons — just like the weather moves from hot in summer to cold in winter. ...

Image
  In Prophetic Medicine, Henna is considered very effective for headaches. l-Bukhari and Abu-Dawud in his sunan recorder:  Never did anyone complain to the Messenger of Allah(PBUH) of a headache, but the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to him. Let you be cupped and never did anyone complain to Him (PBUH) from pain in the leg. The messenger of Allah said, Let you apply henna to your leg.

Reasons for Having Fever After Hijama/Wet Cupping Therapy

Image
  Some of my clients complained of having a fever after the session of Hijama. Let’s discuss why it happens. Hijama cupping therapy is a traditional alternative medical treatment practiced in ancient Egyptians, Chinese culture, Arabic medicine, Greek medicine, and Prophetic medicine. Cupping alleviates pain by increasing blood circulation and eliminating toxins from the body. Cupping also helps to reduce inflammation and increases blood flow, which provides relaxation and well-being to the body. Hijama cupping therapy has been a safe and secure method to handle issues with soft tissues and stiff muscles for centuries. When cups are applied on the targetted area of the skin, it creates negative pressure. The negative pressure helps to reduce the tension and stiffness in the muscles and also aids in releasing the myofascial and scar tissues. Hijama cupping therapy is a safe and secure therapy. Generally, it does not cause any severe side effects. However, some symptoms may occur for ...

Image
  Nabeez is one of the most popular, alkaline Sunnah tonics that Our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) used to drink. Nabeez is a prophetic drink recommended by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Sayydhina Ai’sha (RA) has said: “We would prepare this by putting a handful of dates or raisins into a Mashkeeza. If we prepared Nabeez in the night, the Beloved Prophet (PBUH) would drink it during the day and if we prepared it during the day, He would drink it at night. (Musnad Ahmad, vol. 9, pp. 301, Hadees 24263)”. Nabeez Ingredients: Dates or raisins, almonds, barley (add whatever you like) Quantity: 3–4 dates Water Quantity: One glass Method:  soak dates overnight, drink the water in the morning and eat the soaked dates as our  Prophet (PBUH ) used to do. Preparing Nabeez drink is as simple as soaking dates in a glass of water and drinking it after 12 hours.  When dates or raisins are soaked in a glass of water, it sweetens water and softens the dates. Soaked dates release all the minerals...
