Healthcare professionals such as doctors, therapists, and acupuncturists are generally eligible to perform this procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_Of_Hijama\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types Of Hijama:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wet_Cupping\"><\/span>Wet Cupping:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the cups are applied to create suction, your therapist will make a puncture.

Afterward, the instrument is removed, the area where incisions are made is cleaned, and the wounds are covered. Usually, glass cups are used as they are precise to detoxify the bloodstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dry_Cupping\"><\/span>Dry Cupping:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same method is implemented, but the cups used during the dry cupping process are designed to create a suctioning effect on the skin.

Usually, the cups are attached for 5 or 10 minutes, after that they are gently removed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_Of_Hijama\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros Of Hijama:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are the benefits of this session:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research suggests that people who have undergone this therapy claim to be free from pain that causes muscle tension or discomfort.
