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. ...

Does Hijama Cupping Therapy Help Get Rid Of Food Cravings?

Image
Food cravings can lead us to choose unhealthy food and may disrupt our efforts to follow a healthy diet for healthy living.   What Is A Food Craving? A food craving is an uncontrollable force that inclines an individual to consume a specific type of food, specifically unhealthy. Why We Crave For Food? Human bodies crave specific kinds of unhealthy food because our brain releases feel-good hormones called dopamine, while the stomach starts producing hunger hormones. When we consume junk food loaded with sugar, fructose, starch, and corn syrup we feel satisfied for a short time. After we satisfy our craving, dopamine releases again, and along with dopamine a happy hormone, serotonin is released to make us feel better for a short period. This temporary happiness ends up being depressed and anxious. Our body releases another hormone leptin that signals our body to stop eating junk food. Still, as we satisfy our cravings all the time, the leptin hormone stops working, the body develops ...

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...
