🔎 What Do Cupping Marks Reveal About the Body?
Many people wonder why the marks left after Hijama (cupping therapy) look different from person to person. These marks are not random – they tell us valuable information about the body’s internal state:
⚫ Blood Stasis
Dark, purplish marks indicate stagnation of blood and poor circulation. This often happens when toxins build up or when the body has old injuries, stress, or blockages.
🔥 Internal Heat
Red, inflamed marks suggest that the body is holding excess heat, often related to inflammation, stress, or high internal activity.
🌀 Qi & Blood Deficiency
Lighter marks show a lack of energy and weak blood flow. This often points to fatigue, low immunity, or nutritional deficiencies.
🔄 Mix of Heat, Stasis & Deficiency
Sometimes the cups reveal a combination – darker spots with uneven coloring – showing multiple imbalances at once.

✅ Cupping therapy doesn’t just leave marks – it’s like a window into your body’s health. Each color and shade tells us a story about your circulation, energy, and internal balance.
