IS CUPPING A CURE FOR EVERY DISEASE?
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed in cupping there is a cure.” (Muslim) – IS CUPPING A CURE FOR EVERY DISEASE?
Depending on the type of ailment a person is suffering from, the cups used during cupping will be applied to different points of the body.
70% of diseases, pain, or ailments are due to the blood being unable to reach certain parts of the body. Dry cupping and dry massage cupping allow the blood to reach these places, therefore being a remedy for many ailments that people suffer from.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever revives a Sunnah from my Sunnah and the people practice it, he/ she will have the same reward of those who practice it without the reward of the doer being reduced” (ibn Maajah)

There are many benefits for the believer in using Hijaamah as a remedy in this world. Among the benefits of Hijaamah in this world for the believer is that one will be rewarded for using it. This is because they are reviving a Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. When we look at it from a worldly perspective, we find Hijaamah has many health benefits including the promotion of energy in the blood flow, the removing of toxins and other waste material from the blood, and helping to speed up the recovery time from ailments which people suffer from. Hijaamah is also known to prevent many diseases and therefore can be considered one of the best preventive measures against many diseases. Furthermore, Hijaamah can help people who are under the influence of magic spells or some evil beings.
Hijaamah has no side effects as long as performed properly, and it is worth noting that about 70% of diseases or disorders are caused by the failure of the correct blood circulation around the body. Furthermore, we get sick when our body is loaded with toxins and other impurities. Unless harmful toxins are removed from the body or from the blood, not only do we not recover fast from the disease but we also become easy victims to other diseases.
We should never forget that this highly useful and recommended Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ helps us in controlling many diseases such as infections, hypertension, circulatory diseases, pains, infertility, cancer, etc.
