History of Cupping/Hijama
Ancient Egyptians had used therapeutic cupping
Ebers papyrus, thought to be the oldest medical textbook approximately 1550 B.C., in Egypt, describes bleeding by cupping in order to remove the foreign matter from the body.
Dry Cupping – It is a process in which a cup is placed on an area of the body and negative pressure (vacuum) is applied in order to cring the blood to the surface. Dry cupping has a very similar effect to wet cupping if you are curious about cupping but not completely sure whether you want to have wet cupping you can try dry cupping as this is a faster process that is less invasive with very similar effects. Dry cupping can be incorporated as a treatment to your physiotherapy session.
Wet Cupping/Hijama in Blackburn, North West.
It is the process in which a cup is placed on specific areas of the body and negative pressure (vacuum) in order to collect the blood in that area with incisions to remove blood that lies just underneath the surface of the skin.

Hijama and Islam
The great prophet of Islam Muhamad (PBUH) had used Al-Hijama on his honourable head for migraine and on his honourable hip joint and back of the neck, lateral sides of the neck and between shoulders. It is mentioned in that recorded by Muhammad al-Bukhari (5263) and Muslim (2952), saying “The Al-Hijama is the best of your remedies”. Jaabir ibn Abdullah reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Indeed in cupping (Al-Hijama) there is a cure.” [Saheeh Muslim (5706)]. Abdullah ibn Abbas reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Healing is in three things: in the incision of the cupper (Al-Hijama), in drinking honey, and in cauterizing with fire, but I forbid my Ummah (nation) from cauterization (branding with fire).” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5681),
Also, the angels mentioned to the Prophet that he recommend Al-Hijama to his ummah (nation). Abdullah ibn Abbas reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said, “I did not pass by an angel from the angels on the night journey except that they all said to me: Upon you is cupping (Al-Hijama), O Muhammad.” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Majah]. In the narration reported by Abdullah ibn Mas’ud ”the angels said, “Oh Muhammad, order your Ummah (nation) with Al-Hijama (cupping) .” [Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhee (3479)]

- It clears blockages or stagnated circulation.
- It promotes smooth circulation of blood: decrease in blood carbon dioxide level and increase in blood oxygen level and allow blood to circulate more actively.
- It strengths the immune system: Blood circulate more smoothly thus old waste products get disposed of more effectively, the immune system is strengthened and resistance against disease enhances.
