[hejamah]

Dear All,
salam alaikom wa rahmatollah.

We would like to welcome you all to the newly established British Cupping Society. It is the first society developed by a team of Muslim medical professionals dedicated to the advancement of the research, promotion and practice of Cupping Therapy (medicine of the Prophet Mohammed pbuh).

They are going to be an official launch in the UK in the upcoming weeks so keep checking this thread for further news.

In the meantime, please below some of their articles and research.

Fascinating .. I see an exclusion of Pregnant women amongst others -- I am curious of the benefits and/or side effects on women of child bearing age? Has this been tried on them.. Do women seek this sort of treatment in general?

Jazaka Allah khyran

alaikom salam,

Yes women receive the treatment. We have numerous patients of differing ages and ailments.

Pregnant women are delicate, therefore care and caution is needed when applying any form of treatment to them.

[hejamah]

One sister said that her father had hejamah done and a lot of blood came out. That is a surprise and a concern for me as a wise practitioner would know not to bleed excessively.

The advice to everyone is that there are known medical and or proper health professionals who practice hejamah, so go to them to ensure that you are being given the best care.

may allah help us all.

To date there is no research trial conducted on pregnant women with Cupping Therapy; it is hoped that with the establishment of the British Cupping Society research and audit can be conducted allowing us to determine the best uses of Cupping Therapy.

i just want to ask how could i be amember of this society im adoctor &i practiced hujama for 8 y

[Snowflake]

Hijamah can cause a miscarriage in pregnancy therefore it is to be avoided.

www.natureshealthnaturesfinest.co.uk are already doing courses which are certified by the Complimentary Medicine Association.

I would never advise anyone who has only attended a one-day workshop to start practicing Hijamah on others. You have to pay around £38 pounds to buy the book and equipment (may cost more) and you will not be doing the practical i.e. cutting anyone - that you will be told to practice at home on tissue paper, tomatoes etc. All you do is stick the suction cups on them. There is so much more to be learned and the last thing we need is to harm someone and get this wonderful sunnah banned. Please do the full course if you want to learn the art.


assalamu alaykum.

Registering as a member is very easy, however to register as a practitioner one requires to successfully complete one of the courses organised by the British Cupping Society (BCS). The courses organised by the BCS are designed specifically for health professionals (those professions recognised by the Health Professionals Council and including Medical Professionals).

The course involves a 4 days distant learning (self directed study) followed by 1day of practical workshops and seminars lead by esteemed practitioners and academics. Upon successful completion, certificates are issued.

The next course will take place in late summer (August, dates tbc) however details will be made available later this month insha'allah.

I'm not %100 sure on this but I remember reading somewhere that cupping with fire is haraam, infact any treatment using fire is haraam I remember reading. You might want to look into it before you get it done.

[جوري]

it is heated .. they heat these cups and then put it on the back to increase circulation.. the same idea is implemented in those creams like Icy Hot and such...

I'd like evidence that this sort of cupping is haram--

:w:

[Layla454]

Have you ever had cupping done on you sister Gossamer?

[جوري]

no, never, women of childbearing age tend to be anemic anyway, I am not sure that cupping is a good idea least of which during pregnancy.. but I'd like to get this other heated cupping done for back pain...

has anyone here had it? is it Haram?

:w:

Sorry sis I never knew you were pregnant

Sorry sis I never knew you were pregnant

lol I am not pregnant.. I said, I don't think blood cupping is good for women of childbearing age because of loss of iron during menstruation and especially those who are pregnant, since their plasma volume goes up to accommodate blood supply to the fetus.. I am yet to see evidence for its benefits to women, unless they had a medical condition called Hemochromatosis and are post menopausal .. but that is my theoretical opinion..

Good to hear about the launch of British Cupping Society.

We are a group of hijama enthusiasts in Leicester running a blogsite on the subject: [removed]

Is there anyone from the Society who can discuss the possibility of doing a guest post on our blog discussing the background and achievements so far of the Society so we can inform our growing mailing list about this development.

JazakAllah

I've done cupping done, three times. It was done in a specialised clinic in Jakarta with trained staff and everything is hygienic and sterile.
The first time it drew pretty thick very dark blood (I am living in a big polluted city, and my past lifestyle must have contributed to all those toxins).
I felt pretty good afterwards, a bit light (maybe from the loss of blood), but definitely felt fresher.
I should do it regularly, like every month or so. I would definitely recommend it.
