Most of this hour is spent face down or in a relaxed seated position while the practitioner places and moves cups across broad muscle areas, then leaves some in place to create suction marks — often with fewer needles than a standard acupuncture visit — and you walk out with those marks and a sense of how your body responded.

Length not listedHijama Derived from the Arabic word â€œHajmâ€ which means â€œsuckingâ€. Hijama involves the creating of suctions and negative pressure through cups and then making small, shallow incisions in the skin surface to draw out stagnated blood and toxins from the body. Cups are applied to specific parts of the body, such as affected areas, muscles and organs to circulate blood, reduce stagnation, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Hijama increases the blood flow by expanding blood vessels with the negative pressure created through a suction pump and cup. Benefits: â€¢ Removes toxins â€¢ Oxygenates the area â€¢ Boosts immunity by activating the lymphatic system What to expect: During the treatment the patient should experience a pulling, stretching, warming sensation on the skin, but not pain. If the cupping is too uncomfortable. After cupping therapy, the patient will most likely have slight markings at the site of the treatment. The extent of the markings depends on the length and strength of the treatment session. The markings usually fade within a few days but may last up to a week or two. The markings will usually appear worst after the first treatment but as the circulation improves and stagnation is removed with each treatment, the marking will decrease. After treatment, it is normal to feel a little light-headed and a little thirsty. It is important for the patient to take his or her time when getting up from the treatment table and to drink some water directly after treatment. In the winter, it is important to stay warm and covered after treatment because the pores are open and susceptible to external pathogens directly after a cupping session.
