Hijama –A Therapy from the Islamic World of Medicine 
This article is on Hijama therapy. It then goes on to explain the benefits of indulging in this therapy. It then elaborates about how it is performed by an experienced practitioner. 
The emergence of Islamic medicine took place because of the communication that took place between the native Arabs and the influences from the external world. In the initial stages of the Islamic age Muslim believed that Allah has the remedy for every possible ailment that is prevalent in the world. Gradually during the ninth century the Islamic medical fraternity developed and they started making medicines using a system that was completely based on scientific facts. Slowly this fraternity pressed the importance of health science to the entire Muslim community. They were keen and continuously strived to search for ways to care for the human body and health. In the medieval Islam period hospitals were made and the practice of surgery was encouraged. 
Hijama cupping therapy is one such Islamic medicine. Hijama is derived from the Arabic word known as “ha ja ma” which actually means “to diminish in volume”. It is known as cupping therapy because of the utilization of cups as a therapeutic instrument in the entire process. At the early stage of this therapy horn or cup was heated so that a negative pressure is created and this was used to draw blood and pus. At a later period it was found that it was effective in treating various kinds of illnesses and with the passage of time it developed into a therapeutic method. But the modern methodology does not use fire. Instead it uses sterile plastic cups attached with a pump to create vacuum within. 
Hijama Cupping therapy has several inherent advantages and those are as follows- Exhaustion due to Anemia Menstrual pain Constipation and diarrhea Headache Back pain Arthritis Injuries Asthma Depression and emotional disorder Atrophy Sciatica Common cold and flu Skin troubles Enhances the immune system Strengthens the blood passage It is extremely effectual in treating some clinical manifestations of peripheral pathogens that are fighting at the level of the skin. It releases toxins with negligible added stress to inside organs of the human body
It facilitates adequate flow of nutrients to the affected tissues It assists in treating liver and kidney issues Respiratory ailments Digestion problems Gynecological disorders Utilized for treating muscle spasm Joint pain Stomach pain Vomiting Helps in treating hair fall Helps in sorting out fertility issues 
Hijama is never performed by an amateur. It is important to have it performed by someone who is trained by a self-regulating body school. They should be an expert in this field. Most importantly this therapy requires a clean and hygienic environment. The practitioners always wear gloves and makes sure that everything is as disinfected as possible. The equipments that are utilized for the therapy are all absolutely new and once their use is complete those are immediately disposed off. 
This is a natural therapy which was practiced by the Prophet in his lifetime. There is widespread hadith supporting this. This therapy is also performed with the niyyah of reviving a great yet forgotten Sunnah.
