Cupping or Hijama

Cupping Therapy, also known as Hijama, is a traditional healing technique that has gained recognition for its therapeutic and rejuvenating benefits. At the Indian Skin Clinic, we offer safe and hygienic cupping therapy sessions under expert supervision to help with detoxification, pain relief, and overall wellness.

What is Cupping (Hijama)?

Cupping is a holistic treatment where suction cups are placed on the skin to create negative pressure. This helps:

• Improve blood flow.
• Remove toxins and stagnant blood.
• Promote natural healing.

There are two main types of cupping offered:

1. Dry Cupping:
   • Suction is created without incisions.
   • Ideal for muscle relaxation, improved circulation, and detoxification.
2. Wet Cupping (Hijama):
   • Involves making small, superficial incisions to remove toxins and stagnant blood.
   • Known for its detoxifying and therapeutic effects.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy:

1. Detoxifies the Body:
   • Removes impurities and promotes better organ function.
2. Improves Blood Circulation:
   • Boosts oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.
3. Pain Relief:
   • Effective for chronic pain, arthritis, back pain, and migraines.
4. Reduces Inflammation:
