Hijama causes dilatation of blood vessels, increases blood supply to vital organs and helps in normalising blood pressure. It creates suction that pulls fluid into the treated area. The capillaries, which are microscopic blood vessels under the skin, are ruptured and enlarged by this suction force. The cupping region is treated as an injury by your body. More blood is sent to the area to speed up the body's natural healing process.

Patients with hypertension can reduce their systolic blood pressure using wet-cupping therapy for up to 4 weeks without experiencing any negative side effects. Consider wet-cupping as an additional hypertension treatment.
