Hijama therapy is generally suitable for individuals between the ages of 14 and 70. This age range ensures safety and optimal results.
Today, cupping therapy has gained global recognition and is practiced in various cultures. Ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Arabs, and Greeks, as well as Prophetic medicine, all utilized different forms of cupping. The primary goals of cupping are to enhance blood circulation, eliminate toxins, reduce pain and inflammation, and promote relaxation and well-being. As a cupping therapist, I have encountered clients of all ages. Hijama cupping therapy is becoming famous among all ages because of its exceptional results. There are no specific age criteria for performing cupping, but some specifications are supposed to be met for safety purposes. The effects of Hijama Cupping Therapy are different in different age groups.
Hijama for Age 13+
Hijama should not be performed below the age of 13 years old. A few practitioners believe that age 13 is too young for a child to perform Hijama on them. Moreover, If parents allow it, a hijama can be performed at thirteen years of age, and a doctor’s consent form is also necessary. The child should be healthy and brave enough to handle the cup’s suction and the incisions. It is a good idea to start with dry cupping therapy. When the cup is applied to the skin, it should not be left for more than five minutes. It would be best to observe how the child cooperates with the procedure. If the child is comfortable, then proceed to the next step. Superficial incisions should have been made on the skin using a surgical blade.
Hijama cupping therapy is a natural process. There are no chemicals or medications involved in recovery. Instead of using medications, we prefer to perform a therapy that provides natural results. If the child is healthy, then no harm is done to perform Hijama on a 13-year-old child. This natural approach instills confidence in the effectiveness and safety of the therapy.
The Best Age To Perform Hijama!
My clients have often asked me, “At what age does a 
body gain 100% results from wearing a Hijama?” The best age to perform Hijama is between 16 to 40 years of age. The body forms blood very quickly at a young age. The formation of blood cells varies for each individual. Still, a normal adult blood production might average 200 billion red blood cells per day, 100 billion white cells per day, and 400 billion platelets per day. Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body, and it also carries carbon dioxide and other waste materials that need to be removed from the body. Blood also fights infections and boosts the immune system.
The bone marrow produces and releases blood cells. Aging has some effects on bone marrow and blood cells; as we age, the production of blood cells through bone marrow decreases. That is why, at a young age, the human body gains 100% positive results from Hijama because of the quick formation of blood in the body.
Hijama For Age 70
Hijama should not be worn by people over 70. Although it is still risky to wear Hijama at this age, with precautions, it can be done. First of all, a Doctor’s consent form is a must. The number of cups must be five or less. The formation of blood becomes very slow as we age, so fewer cups mean a low risk is involved. The periods of cups on the skin should not be more than five minutes. With old age, cupping marks go away very slowly, so the duration of cups on the skin should be minimal. The superficial incisions must be very light and smooth. The antiseptic ointment should be applied after the session to avoid infection. These precautions are in place to ensure the safety and well-being of our older clients.
Conclusion:
Hijama cupping therapy is a safe and very beneficial technique for treating illnesses. Preventive measures can provide exceptional results regardless of a client’s age. This reassurance about the safety and potential benefits of Hijama therapy can instill a sense of hope and security in our readers.
