Hijama Cupping (wet cupping) removes causative pathological substances (which causes diseases), improves circulation and restores homeostasis.
This is crucial in order to allow the body to rebuild naturally from all kinds of degenerative conditions this then benefits you physiologically in the following ways:
Digestive System – removes chemical toxins and reduces inflammation which treats disorders like indigestion, nausea, bloating, gastric re-flux, IBS etc
Circulatory System – removes principle cause of heart disease by clearing the vessels that are inflamed and lined with fatty plaque
Immune System – increases effectiveness of white blood cells therefore reducing the frequency of colds and infections
Respiratory System – promotes the circulation of blood by increasing the oxygen level which helps to fight off colds, asthma etc
Muscular System – removes stagnation to improve blood circulation which reduces aches and pains. Also wet cupping improves the metabolism breakdown of glucose and oxygen into energy so your muscles perform and recover better after exercise
Skeletal System – clears stagnated circulation, reduces swelling and dryness of joints and protects cartilages from further damage
Integumentary System – (Skin) stimulates cell activity, reduces inflammation, fights against occurrence of rashes and pimples
Excretory System – (Urinary) promotes kidney performance and reduces build up of toxins which can lead to kidney stones
Nervous system – clears vessels, balances hormonal chemicals in the brain and improves efficacy of neurotransmitters
Reproductive & Endocrine System – regulates hormone release from various glands and improves moods.
