Hijama (Wet Cupping Therapy) is a powerful practice that supports the healthy functioning of all body systems. This traditional treatment, which has been part of Tibb E Nabwi (Medicine of the Prophet) for centuries, allows for the direct removal of toxins from the body via the blood’s transport system. This article explores how Hijama cleanses the body and positively impacts various health systems.
Arteries are vital blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Over time, these walls can become congested with a fatty substance called plaque. When this happens to a severe point, the arteries may begin to harden and blood flow can become compromised, potentially resulting in a heart attack. While mainstream medicine often relies on drugs or surgery, Hijama offers a natural way to help prevent and remove this plaque and other morbid accumulations that build up in the blood vessels.
In the Medicine of the Prophet, there are five pillars of healing that address both the heart (soul) and the body. These principles offer a holistic approach to wellness:
When all these tools are combined, they create a powerful force that can overcome many sicknesses and ailments.
Diet plays a crucial role in preventing arterial plaque. It’s just as important to know what to avoid as what to eat. Foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol, such as deep-fried, trans-fat, and highly processed foods, should be limited. Red meat should also be consumed in small portions, and alcohol should be avoided entirely.
Conversely, nutrient-dense foods that are high in fiber and low in saturated fat can help reduce arterial plaque. Fiber blocks the absorption of cholesterol and promotes a feeling of fullness, which can lead to reduced calorie intake. Excellent sources of fiber include whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Hijama’s ability to remove occlusions and waste products from the body has a direct and positive impact on the following ten systems:
The removal of heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium from the body can induce the production of healthy bones, as many of these toxins inhibit the assimilation of essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Furthermore, Hijama decreases the chances of inflammation around joints, which is beneficial for illnesses like arthritis. This, in turn, increases mobility and range of motion in joints, strengthens connective tissue, and facilitates posture improvement.
Toxins and lactic acid can accumulate in your muscles and remain for a long time. Hijama effectively removes these toxins and relaxes the muscles. This provides enhanced cellular activity while stimulating the generation of new tissue. The therapy also facilitates mineral retention, improves muscle tone, and decreases the intensity of muscle spasms.
By removing heavy metals from the body, Hijama aids in better motor neuron health. The brain’s signals are better harnessed both internally and with the external environment. It monitors and regulates voluntary conditions, such as keeping the body in touch with its surroundings through the senses (touch, smell, taste, hearing, and sight) as well as the many functions regulated by the Central Nervous System.
The respiratory system delivers oxygen and dispenses carbon dioxide through the body’s blood. The process of inhaling brings oxygen into the body, which then travels through the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and into the lungs. From there, it diffuses through capillaries into the blood supply. This treatment promotes better breathing and increased pulmonary function by stimulating blood flow and lowering the respiratory rate.
The circulatory system is the body’s transport system. It is made up of a group of organs that transport blood throughout the body, with the heart pumping the blood and the arteries and veins transporting it. This therapy allows for the adequate clearance of many dangers associated with the blood vessels, such as thrombus and emboli. It also inhibits the constant buildup of arterial plaque, which minimizes the chances of strokes and cardiac disease.
The lymphatic system consists of vessels that carry lymph (clear fluid), which absorbs fluid, waste products, dead cells, and bacteria. Lymph nodes, found in the neck, armpits, and groin, filter and remove these damaging agents. The system also absorbs fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the digestive system. Hijama reinforces and invigorates the lymphatic system, encouraging the drainage of fluid and waste in the direction of the lymphatic flow.
The endocrine system is comprised of glands that produce and secrete hormones into the bloodstream. This therapy helps to maintain and regulate the body’s growth, metabolism, mood, temperature, and sexuality. It also assists in managing diabetic conditions and thyroid and tissue function.
The gastrointestinal system is responsible for the ingestion, digestion, absorption, and defecation of food and nutrients. Hijama aids this system by releasing tension in the abdominal and intestinal muscles, relieving constipation, assisting with waste elimination, and stimulating liver and kidney activity.
The urinary system is responsible for removing urea, a type of waste found in your blood. When protein and some vegetables are broken down, urea is produced and carried to the kidneys. The kidneys filter the urea while allowing the blood to keep glucose, salts, and minerals. This treatment aids in increasing urinary output, reduces fluid retention, and promotes better waste elimination. It also assists in the efficiency of the liver and kidneys.
The reproductive system ensures the survival of the species and consists of hormones, genitalia, and gonads. Hijama relaxes muscles and reduces blood pressure, bringing about homeostasis and a natural balance of hormones. It also provides a much better blood supply to the reproductive organs, which assists in the elimination of many infertility and reproductive illnesses seen today.
These are just a handful of benefits that can be achieved by the administration of Hijama (WCT), InshaAllah. Hijama is a complete medical system for harmonizing the mind, body, and soul to bring about a balance in one’s health and life. For more information on health and wellness, visit our health blog.
