If the person is going to be treated with hijama treatment, the person should first lie down in a suitable position and in a way that is comfortable. At this point, it is extremely important for your body to be comfortable. The area to be treated with appropriate materials should be cleaned. After the skin is cleaned, enough cups for the area to be treated are placed on the relevant area for the procedure called “dry cup”. The placed cups should be kept in the area for five minutes with sufficient vacuum to be applied.
Thanks to the cupping process, it is aimed that all the toxic substances in the body approach the surface of the skin. For the next process, cuts are made according to the size of the cups. All toxin substances in the body are removed from these cuts created on the skin. As with all treatment methods, the application of hijama is an application that should not be applied without consulting a specialist doctor. The possibility of negative effects, which will differ according to the constitution of the people, is also valid for this procedure.
