This presentation delves into Hijama, or cupping, an ancient therapeutic practice rooted in the Arabic term Al Hajm ("sucking"), known for its role in health systems across the Eastern Mediterranean, South Asia, and East Asia. Attendees will explore the history, techniques, and evolving scientific evidence supporting hijama. Dating back to 1550 B.C., hijama is recorded in ancient Egyptian papyri and later documented in Assyrian and Islamic medical texts, with figures like Avicenna and Al-Zahrawi advancing its understanding. The presentation also explains the two main hijama methods—wet cupping, which involves skin incisions and bloodletting, and dry cupping, which does not—highlighting its cultural importance and therapeutic application from historical to modern times.
