It is actually not that hard to learn hijama, but it is very very advisable to go to professional because:
1. You need to lie down in most cases, in which case you cannot administer the hijama yourself (the area where hijama is done are usually back neck, back, back legs).
2. Professionals use sterile equipments and disposable needles/knife (for wet cupping).
3. They would know which area of your body that needs hijama, based on your specific complaints.

Is there any credible research to shed light on the positive healing effects of cupping?

Yes, Dr. Sahbaa M. Bondok's book Cupping - The Great Missing Therapy, which was the first thesis about the effects of cupping therapy on the immune systems submitted for her M.SC. degree (Dept. of Microbiology Al -Azhar University).
 
to comment on the 'benefits for the recipient' to those receiving blood .. apart from life saving in immediately threatening life situations, receiving blood especially on frequent basis such as with those suffering major blood loss, certain types of cancers, sickle cells and [thalassemia(which I personally suffer from but not in a major form al7mdlillah)] has some serious and major sequelae which range from iron overload (which can lead to heart and multi-organ failure) to Alloantibodies --pre-transfusion screening is done to see if there are antibodies against red blood cells, commonly implicated antigens are anti K, ant L, and anti E, and some patients develop multiple alloantibodies making a transfusion nearly impossible. It isn't always beneficial to receive someone else' blood but it is a risk vs. benefit ratio..
 
I had no idea hijama was part of the Sunnah.. In fact I didn't even know it was called Hijama.. I've experienced it before but honestly I wasn't sure if I got better because of the treatment or because I was naturally "healing". Would I be right to say that in such treatments it is possible that there are people out there who aren't exactly qualified to be carrying out yet do it?

They may well be such people. If they are doing that they are seriously risking their own and their patients health and even life. Always ask to see a practitioners credentials before agreeing to any treatment. Or even better go to someone who's been recommended by someone you know personally.
 
I have been watching videos of it lately and the thick blood that comes out looks so cool. I remember one time a few years ago when I was probably 18-19 years old I was having a short break to eat after cycling and I got a nose bleed lol and I stuck a tissue up my nose and when I pulled it out there was this thick blood that followed the tissue and man it felt soooo good. It's probably not the same but I imagine it feels pretty good.
 
I have my very own, very expensive cupping set... i've never used it though (coz I can't stand the sight of blood).

If anyone is living in London and knows how to do hijama, you're more than welcome to come to my house and practice on me :)

I'll see if I can take a pic of the set.

Also, if anyone is seriously interested in hijama - there is www.hijamaclinic.net :) based in Luton I think.

I have experienced the non bleeding one a few years ago on my back. At the time I had no idea what was being done to me all I knew was that there was some heat/fire and a bunch of cups on my back hahahha. The wet version seems more hardcore. My mum actually has a cupping set lol but the box shows a chinese cartoon so I thought it was a traditional chinese treatment, that's why I was surprised when I found out that it has arab origins.

Thanks for sharing guys! I might try poking myself and then borrowing my mum's cupping set to try out lol. Just kidding. I'll look for a tutorial first.

PS: It's the trigger pump kind haha

edit: So I managed to find this link on Where To Place Your Cups.. haha.

[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif]I have been practicing hijama for a long time and every single time the patient feels better and after a few sessions cured by the will of Allah. It's always helpful to remember that Allah who created us tells us how to heal ourselves be it through hijama or prophetic medicine.[/FONT]
For those who haven't found it helpful it's important that you chose a qualified therapist who will carry out the procedure properly and advise how many sessions needed, also what herbs to take to improve the condition the patient is suffering.
In regards to diabetes 4-5 sessions of hijama cures it along side fenugreek, black seed oil, apple cider vinegar and other herbs like parsley juice okra water for the course of one month.
May Allah accept from us our efforts and ease the pain of those suffering.
Jazak Allahu khayr
