The suction is thought to draw waste, toxins, and heavy metals from the body’s tissues to the surface, where they are then eliminated by the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Studies suggest it reduce levels of heavy metals and waste products like uric acid.
How it is believed to work
Suction and blood flow: The vacuum created by the cups draws blood and other fluids to the skin’s surface, which is believed to release toxins from underlying tissues and organs.
Waste and heavy metals: Some research indicates that hijama can reduce the concentration of heavy metals like aluminum, zinc, and cadmium in the blood, suggesting these can be extracted through the process. It may also help eliminate waste products like uric acid.
Lymphatic system support: Cupping increase the flow of lymph, which is a key part of the body’s waste-elimination process.
Immune system stimulation: The process also stimulate the immune response, both locally and systemically.
