Mandatory Gap Of Hijama Between One Session To Another

 

A recommended gap of Hijama between one session to another is 4 to 12 weeks.


As a Hijama Practitioner, I often encountered the question of how much gap is mandatory between two Hijama sessions.

The answer will vary for each individual because it depends on their age, health issues, and overall body system. A recommended gap is 4 to 12 weeks.

4 Weeks Gap

The 4-week gap is recommended for individuals between 20 and 50. It is also recommended for patients who have skin issues, migraines, hormonal imbalances, infertility issues, digestive issues, liver problems, and thyroid gland problems. A 4-week gap is suggested for a few months until patients feel a difference in their health.

Sometimes patients want to come for another Hijama session after 2 or 3 weeks, but I disapprove of that. The scientific reason behind the 4-week gap is that when we do Hijama, our work is done but the cleaning inside the body just started. The toxic blood comes out and the body begins to make new blood cells. Special cells in the kidney, observe oxygen reduction in the blood and secrete a protein, erythropoietin. This erythropoietin sends messages to the stem cells to make more and more red blood cells. This procedure takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete. The link between the formation of blood and our health is important because these cells control our whole body. The benefits of cupping can be achieved when the formation of blood is complete. If you perform another session in the middle of that procedure then 100% benefits can not be achieved.

12 Weeks Gap

The 12-week gap is recommended for individuals for 40 to 70 years of age. This gap is recommended for those patients who have general health issues like muscular pains, lower back pain, neck pains, blood pressure issues, diabetes, high uric acid issues, digestive health issues, menstrual problems, PCOS, menopause, breastfeeding mothers, and migraines. Today’s medical science considers these health issues trivial and common. If an individual has any of these problems, they are on regular medication. All medications cause unwanted side effects. These side effects include muscular pains, dizziness, hair fall, and digestive issues.

Performing Hijama every third month of the year helps to reduce the side effects of medications. Those who take medication regularly should perform Hijama three times a year.

24 Weeks Gap

The 24-week gap is recommended for 50 to 80 years of age. This gap is highly recommended for seniors. As we age the formation of blood slows down. The body's main organs start losing some vital functions. Blood cells experience drastic changes and lose their ability to function. Even losing an average amount of blood can lower their blood pressure and decrease oxygen levels, which may cause dizziness and fainting. That is why seniors should avoid regular cupping.

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 ...

Is It Safe To Use Local Anesthesia Before Hijama/Wet Cupping Therapy?

Image
  Local anesthesia before Hijama/wet cupping therapy is not recommended for long-term benefits. What Is Local Anesthesia? Local anesthesia can be used in the form of a cream or a spray to numb a part of the body to avoid pain during any surgical procedure, in our case to prevent pain during the process of Hijama cupping therapy. How does Local Anesthesia Work? When anesthesia spray or cream is applied to any body part, it blocks the nerves that carry pain signals to the brain. Local anesthetics stop the transmission of neuronal signals by interfering with the function of ion channels in the neuron membrane. To prevent depolarization, local anesthetic molecules are thought to bind to sodium channels, stabilizing them in an inactive state. The local anesthetic must get through the cell membrane to have an impact because this effect is mediated from within the cell. Nerve fibres exhibit varying sensitivities to local anesthetics: small fibres are more susceptible than larger ones, and...

Does Hijama Cupping Therapy Heal the Heel pain (Plantar Fasciitis)?

Image
  Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common orthopedic problems. Photo by  Alina Prokudina  on  Unsplash Plantar fasciitis is a pain and inflammation in the bottom of the heel at the point where the thin band of tissues called the plantar fascia connects the heel bone to the front of the foot. The band of tissues called the plantar fascia goes through a lot of wear and tear in our daily routine. A rough routine or too much pressure on the bottom of the foot damages the tissues, as a result, the plantar fascia becomes inflamed and the inflammation causes stabbing pain that worsens as an individual takes the first few steps in the morning. As an individual gets up and moves around, the pain decreases eventually, but it returns after standing too long or when you stand up after a while. Structure of the Foot A human foot has 28 bones, 33 joints and around 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. The plantar fascia connects the heel bone to the toes. It supports the arch of...
