•Hijama; After vacuuming the cups in the appropriate size for the relevant regions and waiting for a while, superficial incisions are made and following; It is the process of vacuuming these micro-incisions by closing them again with cups and taking the blood out of the body.
•Correct selection of blood collection points and areas is important for successful treatment. Acupuncture; It is the most important helper both in the selection of points and regions and in the creation of the right combinations.
• Although some theories such as the cuto-visceral reflex and door control theory that we use to explain the effect of acupuncture have been put forward for cupping, the mechanism that best explains the effect of cupping is; microcirculation begins to normalize with bloodletting; as a result, the detoxification of the connective tissue and the homeostasis of the relevant part of the body are provided.
•One of the factors that cause diseases is excessive toxin accumulation in the body. If hijama is applied correctly, some of the toxins accumulated in the body can be taken out with the blood.
• If applied according to the basic principles of acupuncture, hijama emerges as a successful treatment method.
As it is known, the wastes expelled from the cell are taken by lymphatic capillaries and transferred to the microcirculation.
In other words, the fluid we call lymphatic fluid actually contains toxins that need to be removed from the body to a large extent.
This system normally works very regularly. In excessive toxin accumulation, stasis occurs first in the capillary junction and then in the interstitial environment and connective tissue. This is vasohumoral dysregulation.
Here is the middle-upper region of the dermis, where we apply hijama, exactly this problematic area. Thus, we drain the waste-filled lymph fluid and peripheral blood.
OUR APPLICATION METHOD
We select the points and regions to be treated according to the acupuncture methodology. There is usually more than one acupuncture point in the area covered by a cup.
COMPARISON OF INTRAVENOUS BLOOD SAMPLES WITH HICAMAT BLOOD SAMPLES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SOME BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS
SUMMARY:
Hacamat is both a traditional and a complementary medicine practitioner for thousands of years. It has been used successfully in the field of medicine.
In the application of cupping, blood is taken from different parts of the body, but always very superficially, under the epidermis, from the dermis region.
•Intravenous blood samples were taken from these subjects, and then the blood samples obtained by cupping were applied to the same people, and some parameters were examined in the laboratory.
•Urea, uric acid, total cholesterol, triglyceride, heavy metals lead, mercury, aluminum and arsenic were taken as basis as biochemical parameters.
HYPOTHESIS:
• Intravenous blood and blood taken with cupping differ in many respects. Urea, uric acid, total cholesterol, triglyceride, lead, mercury, aluminum and arsenic values are higher in cupping blood than venous blood.
OBJECTIVE:
•Comparing venous blood parameters and cupping blood parameters, if there is a difference between them; It is aimed to determine how much difference there is in which values.
•MATERIALS AND METHODS:
•A total of 12 subjects, 10 male and 2 female, between the ages of 23-75 were selected in this study. The reasons why the subjects applied to our clinic are different from each other and their diagnosed diseases; These were hepatitis-B, chronic fatigue, gonarthrosis, hyperlipidemia, panic attack, cervical hernia, fibromyalgia, hypertension, tremor, and chronic renal failure. Some patients had other chronic complaints besides these disorders.
•Comparing the results, it is seen that there is a difference between venous blood and blood obtained by cupping in terms of measured values. In all examined parameters; The values in the cupping blood were found to be higher.
•When the group of biochemical parameters (urea, uric acid, total cholesterol and triglyceride) is compared with heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum, arsenic), it turns out that heavy metals are significantly higher.
•The least change was 2.07% in uric acid, urea (9.38%), total cholesterol 12.95% and triglyceride (18.23%), respectively.
•For heavy metals, the least change is arsenic 6.28%, followed by lead 26.15%, aluminum 37.54% and mercury 73.40%.
