Hijama (Bloodletting) therapy is a method of treating a disease by puncture a specific acupuncture point on a certain part of a body with a needle and let the blood flow by suction cup.
Through the long-term development of history, it has been widely accepted and applied by people. The history of this therapy dates back to the ancient Stone Age. At that time, people found in the labor practice the use of sharp stones - meteorites, blood stasis in the affected area, can treat certain diseases. With the development of science, the tools of stinging have produced metal needles. Later, according to the needs of medical practice, there has been a "front needle" specially used for bloodletting treatment. The earliest written records of this therapy are found in the "Emperor's Internal Medicine". It is clearly stated that puncture and bloodletting can treat symptoms such as madness, headache, irritability, heat and blood stasis. It is noteworthy to point out that the Chinese famous doctor Hua Tuo used acupuncture and bloodletting to treat Cao Cao's migraine ~1800 years back. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, this therapy has become one of the traditional Chinese medicine treatments. In the Song Dynasty, the Hijama treatment was incorporated into the acupuncture and moxibustion.
The benefits of Hijama bloodletting therapy are:
