🎓 Cupping or Hijama Training

The use of cupping around the world is very ancient, from the Egypt of the pharaohs through the Roman Empire, the Greeks, the Arabs, the Hindus, the Chinese and the Westerners not so long ago… (Above, a set of cupping belonging to an English doctor in 1960).

The use of cupping is still alive in traditional Chinese medicine and replaces bloodletting (rakta moksha) in Ayurvedic medicine (which is prohibited in France).
