Breathing problems, such as asthma

Cupping (Hijama) can treat breathing problems.

It helps in dilating the lung bronchi, increasing oxygenation and relieving allergies, thus decreasing the severity and frequency of asthmatic episodes.

Cupping therapy benefits conditions including acid reflux and stomach aches by assisting digestion and respiration via the diaphragm.

Time required: 45 - 60 mins
