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.
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

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.
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 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.
We would like to welcome you officially to the British Cupping Society. The society was formally launched last month and the website is also up and running (content is still being uploaded so do bear with us temporarily!).

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.
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--
