The word “cupping” was derived from the
Arabic verbs “Hajama” and “Haj’jama”
which they mean “to minimize” or “to restore to basic size”, or “to diminish in
volume”.
In Arabic they say, “A certain person
diminished the problem”, they meant that he returned the problem to its
original size. There is also a verb “ahjama” which means “to withdraw or retreat from attack”.
Thus he who
performed the cupping operation made diseases refrain from attacking him. The
increase of spoiled [i] blood in the body rendered
its cessation from growing when the person became twenty-two years old, and it
accumulated in the back area of the person. With advance in age, these
accumulations of spoiled blood hindered the circulation of the whole blood,
eventually paralyzed the work of the young red corpuscles then the body became
weak and exposed to various kinds of diseases. When one performed cupping, the
blood returned to its original condition and the stagnant blood went away (that
blood which contained maximum rate of senile red corpuscles and their cells
ghosts and abnormal shapes of red blood cells, and other impurities).
The pressure on the blood circulation
was lessened and the pure blood formed from young red corpuscles rushed to feed
the cells and the body organs, and released them from harmful residues, damages
and unwanted materials. Al'lah's envoy "Mohammed"
(Communication with Al’lah and Peace are through him) said, “Cupping is the
most helpful act for human beings to cure themselves with.”
