What Is Hijama or Cupping? In Arabic, “Hijama” translates to “suck” and restoring the body to its natural equilibrium. It helps the body achieve a balanced, healthy alkaline environment by eliminating acidity.
This process restores the body to its normal state and acts as a powerful detox, removing stagnant and toxic blood. It purges harmful elements from the body, allowing it to rejuvenate.
