History

Hijama therapy, also known as cupping therapy, has a long and rich history that spans several civilizations. The earliest recorded use of cupping therapy dates back to 1550 BC in ancient Egypt, where it was used to treat a range of health conditions, including fever, pain, and infections.

​

The Greeks and Romans also used cupping therapy to treat a variety of ailments. In fact, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, recommended cupping therapy for respiratory diseases and menstrual problems. The Chinese also have a long history of using cupping therapy and believe that it can balance the body's energy and promote healing.
 

In the Islamic tradition, Hijama therapy is believed to have been used by the Prophet Muhammad and his companions as a way to promote health and well-being. Muslim physicians such as Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Al-Zahrawi (Albucasis) further developed the practice of cupping therapy and wrote about the benefits of Hijama in their medical texts.
 

Throughout history, cupping therapy has been used by healers and physicians to treat a wide range of health conditions, from physical ailments to emotional imbalances. In the modern era, Hijama therapy has seen a resurgence in popularity as people seek out natural and holistic approaches to healing.
