Hijama Therapy

Hijama, also known as cupping therapy, is a method in which your blood is drawn toward the skin through a vacuum. The therapist puts cups having vacuum pressure inside them over your skin, and it draws blood toward the surface, removing toxins and impurities from nearby tissues. It can can help ease pain due to muscle aches or other health conditions.
