Cupping therapy, or hacamat, is a form of alternative medicine in which a therapist places special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. The therapy is relaxing and helps patients suffering from pain, inflammation and blood circulation problems, serving as a type of deep-tissue massage.
The word "hacamat" is derived from the Arabic word "hacm," which means to absorb – in other words, bloodletting. A person who practices this profession is called a "haccâm," and the equipment used during the treatment is called "mihcem."
It is common knowledge that hakamat is one of the Sunnas (practices) of the Prophet Muhammad. In addition to treating specific ailments, the hacamant method was used to draw blood from patients to treat or prevent illness and disease.
