Dry Massage Cupping/ Hijama

This is similar to dry cupping but olive oil is applied to the skin (before applying the hijama cups) in order to allow easy movement of the cups.  This is a great method of massage and is done by applying oil to the skin and moving the cup, by a weak suction, on the area to be treated. In Egypt you will find the more traditional method of using Black Seed Oil, as it is a Sunnah and had many medicinal methods. Some research suggests that more than 70% of diseases, pains & ailments are due to blood being unable to reach certain parts of the body. Dry cupping & Dry massage cupping allows blood to reach these places.

 

Wet Cupping/ Hijama

​

Wet cupping or bleeding cupping as it is referred to sometimes, is the Sunnah method and is the oldest, most frequently used and often the most effective method of cupping. A surgical scalpel blade is used to pierce or scratch the skin surface (outer epidermis) similar to paper cuts and the vacuum cup is then applied to draw out and collect blood, toxins and other fluids from the body.
