The other day Misrat, a 60-year-old lady suffering from chronic osteoarthritis came to the hospital with complaints of severe pain and stiffness on both knees. With prolong standing and activities like squatting, kneeling, the symptoms aggravate. Other weight bearing or dynamic activities like climbing stairs, lifting weights, performing Namaz and even walking was a hindrance. The pain had worsened last 9 months. She used to wake up with severe stiffness in the morning and that used to persist for 30 minutes.
All kinds of medications and painkillers had been tried by her which used to give her a temporary relief. The local physician advised total knee replacement for both the knees. With very less support at home, she was scared of undergoing a major surgery. Hence as a recourse, she visited for HijamaLife.
After consultation our expert team, we put her on 2 month-long cupping therapy session which included 8 sessions of Hijama.
What Were The Effects of Wet Cupping on Her?
In the area of concern, 5-6 cups of the required size were placed on both the knees by well versed female therapist in the field of Hijama. For 5-7 minutes dry cupping was done and then the therapist performed wet cupping. By the grace of Allah, all the blood containing toxins were released from the points.
Cupping helps removal of effusion (water build-up) in the knee joint which is responsible for soft swelling of the knee joint. The damaged tissue releasing chemicals are removed along with blood. Study reports Hijama also helps in release of the endorphins (pain killing hormone) in the affected area, thereby providing natural pain killers to the body.
Patient’s Feedback on Hijama:
In a few sessions, her stiffness and pain were reduced. She could perform her daily chores and even perform her prayers. After 8 sessions she became independent. Her depression and anxiety were gone as there was no pain. Our experienced team of therapist advised good physical activities and exercises and healthy diet along with follow up sessions.
Misrat was so happy and content with the treatment that she has since then recommended Hijama to all her friends and relatives.So many processes happen in a single session by small cups of Hijama, it is beyond imagination.
