What is cupping???

Cupping is traditional medical therapy which has been recommended by the Islamic Law. It is originated from China and has been practiced by the Arabians and Chinese  for thousand of years. It is a therapeutic process of removing venous blood and toxins from the body by the use of cups as the tool.

The cups are to be placed on specific spot of the skin  and vacuum is to be created by mechanical suction pump or by the use of fire(which is not recommended for the Muslims) and painless, light cut is to be applied so that the venous blood can be sucked out of the skin.

The cupping technique is differ from place to place. Some therapist uses olive oil in addition, some uses bamboos and animal horns as the cups, and some even undergo cupping by using leeches to suck out the blood.
