Dry cupping uses suction without superficial skin incisions. Wet cupping, also known as Hijama, involves controlled suction togeter with small, superficial skin incisions performed using appropriate sterile techniques.
World of Cupping offers several spcialized services, including wet cupping (Hijama), dry cupping, sports cupping, targeted cupping, recovery focused cupping, and other advanced cupping techniques.
People commonly seek cupping as part of their wellness or recovery routine for relaxation, muscular tension, mobility, exercise recovery, and general well being. Individual experiences and results vary.
When practiced in a clean and hygienic environment under the guidance of a qualified health professional both cupping and wet cupping are safe and relatively risk free. A screening of previous medical history and medications is always conducted to ensure that the treatment is suitable for the individual patient. Vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate are also conducted. In the case of wet cupping all materials used on each patient are single use and disposed of after each treatment eliminating any risks of cross contamination. The small pin pricks or light scratches created to release stagnant blood are so small that they do not release blood after the cups have been removed and are almost always dry by the end of each treatment. The quantity of blood removed is usually of a very minimal amount and this is usually no more than the quantity taken in a routine blood test. As a general precaution however patients iron levels are always taken into consideration.
Although wet cupping does involve small breaks in the surface of the skin that can be slightly uncomfortable the sensation is very short lived and quite minimal. Although subjective it is considered by most as being far less painful than having an injection and more comparable to having acupuncture. Sensitivity varies depending on the individual and the type of cupping performed.
Yes both regular and wet cupping can leave round bruise like marks on the surface of the skin that can stay for approximately two weeks but do gradually fade. In wet cupping this is accompanied by the pin marks or scratches that will completely fade within a similar time frame depending on the individual skin type.
Listen to your body; if you feel tired then rest. It is recommended to avoid doing anything that gets your adrenaline flowing, such as running or swimming or any other sport for a day or two. This will allows your body to restore balance and maximize the benefits of the treatment. In saying so, walking and getting on with your daily routines such as shopping etc is not a problem. But make sure to rest when you can.
Remember that everyone is different. There are some factors that will indicate the number of treatments you require: how long you have had your problem; if you have been on medication and for how long. Another factor could be your lifestyle, diet, exercise and even sleeping pattern.
A thorough understanding of your symptoms is essential to make an accurate assessment and formulate the best treatment plan for you. In the first treatment session, time is spent finding out about your symptoms and how your particular health issues affect you.
After being assessed then a treatment plan will be explained to the patient.
