Bekam, Al hijama, Cupping

What is cupping (hijama)?


Cupping (hijama) is the best remedy recommended and used by the Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam). The Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said, "Indeed the best of remedies you have is cupping (hijama) ..." [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5371)]. He (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) also said that on the night of Israa (his ascension to the heavens) he (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) did not pass by an angel except that it said to him, "Oh Muhammad, order your Ummah (nation) with cupping (hijama)." [Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhee (3479)]. This shows the importance and greatness of this Sunnah.

'Hijama' in arabic is derived from 'hajm' which means 'sucking'. Cupping (hijama) is the process of applying cups to various points on the body by removing the air inside the cups to form a vacuum.

Cupping (hijama) is of three types:

* dry cupping (hijama) - This is the process of using a vacuum on different areas of the body in order to gather the blood in that area without incisions (small, light scratches using a sterile surgical blade or disinfected razor).

* Dry massage cupping (hijama). This is similar to dry cupping (hijama) but olive oil is applied to the skin (before applying the cups) in order to allow easy movement of the cups.

70% of diseases, pains and ailments are due to the blood being unable to reach certain parts of the body. Dry cupping (hijama) and dry massaging cupping (hijama) allow the blood to reach these places.

Dry and massage cupping (hijama) may be self-administered in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Each cupping (hijama) box is accompanied by an instruction booklet. We have also provided further instructions on our 'How To Cup' page.

Dry and massage cupping (hijama) may be administered any time of the day, any day of the week or month. There are no restrictions.

Although dry and massage cupping (hijama) are very beneficial, they are not from the Sunnah. However, they fall under the general hadeeth:

The Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said, "For every disease there is a cure so if the medicine comes upon the disease it cures it by the will of Allaah, the Most High." [Saheeh Muslim (2204)].


* wet cupping (hijama) - This is the process of using a vacuum at different points on the body but with incisions in order to remove 'harmful' blood which lies just beneath the surface of the skin. (It is recommended that wet cupping (hijama) is only administered by a cupping therapist).

Wet cupping (hijama) is best administered at certain times of the day and days of the week. Please see our 'Authentic Narrations' page for further details. Wet cupping (hijama) is from the Sunnah. To obtain maximum benefit from cupping (hijama), it is recommended that all three methods of cupping are used.

Is cupping (hijama) a cure for every disease?

Cupping (hijama) is a cure for every disease if performed in its correct time. The Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said, "Indeed in cupping (hijama) there is a cure." [Saheeh Muslim (5706)]. The Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said, "Whoever performs cupping (hijama) on the 17th, 19th or 21st day (of the Islamic, lunar month) then it is a cure for every disease." [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3861)].

There are specific points on the body where the cups are applied for each ailment. Please see our 'Where To Cup' page for further details.

Is cupping (hijama) from the Sunnah?

Above are just some of the authentic narrations which show that cupping (hijama) is from the Sunnah of the Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam).

The Messenger (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) said, "Whoever revives a Sunnah from my Sunnah and the people practise it, s/he will have the same reward of those who practise it without their reward diminishing" [Sunan ibn Maajah (209)].

Foot Care in Diabetes

Diabetes causes your blood sugar levels to be higher than normal. Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves in the body. Damage to the nerves means that you may have burning pain or lose feeling in a part of your body (this is called diabetic neuropathy). Damage to the blood vessels means that your feet may not be getting a good supply of blood.

How to avoid problems with your feet

Keep your blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible. Also, follow your doctor’s advice on diet, exercise and medicine. Here are some other ways to protect your feet:


Examine your feet everyday. Examine from the top to the bottom of your foot. Look and feel in between your toes and around the heel area. Look for cuts, sores, blisters, redness, swellings, corns and calluses, ingrown toe nails, changes in skin colour and so on. If you are unable to see your feet, use a mirror or ask someone to help you.

Wash your feet everyday with lukewarm (not hot) water and mild soap.

Do not soak your feet as this will make your skin too soft and fragile.

Do not use rough massage gloves or brushes as they can damage your skin.

Do not wash your feet for too long.

Dry your feet thoroughly with a soft towel and pat gently; don’t rub. Make sure you do not forget to dry between your toes. Damp skin can easily lead to infections.

Dust your feet with talcum powder, which will help keep them dry.

If you have dry skin on your feet, use a moisturising lotion to prevent cracking. Do not apply between your toes, as this may lead to infection.

Keep your toenails trimmed. Trim them with toenail clippers after you have washed and dried your feet. Trim the nails following the shape of your toes, and not too short. Do not cut into the corners of the nail, which may trigger an ingrown toenail. File your toenails with nail file to smoothen them.

Rasps for removing callus, razor blades, pointed scissors and corn plasters are widely used instruments in pedicure. Unfortunately, none of these are suitable for taking care of the feet and nails of people with diabetes, since they can easily cause injuries or damage to the skin. Use a pumice stone to remove callus, especially after washing the feet. Gently rub the stone over the callus in one direction only. Continue to do this for five minutes every day till the callus is being removed.

Always wear sandals when visiting the swimming pool.


Do not go barefoot, even when indoors.

Don’t let your feet get too hot or too cold.

Do foot exercises and massage your feet everyday to stimulate the circulation.

DO NOT go to the foot massage parlour to massage your feet as it may injure them.

If your feet have any cuts or abrasions, clean the wound immediately with saline, apply an antiseptic cream and secure a sterile dressing to the area. Continue with dressing until the wound is healed. Seek medical treatment if the wound does not show any signs of healing after two days...

Foods for diabetics
Care 4 u DM






HAVING diabetes does not mean that you have to stick to a rigid diet. In fact, a diabetic diet is almost the same as that for the healthy. Diabetes does not mean completely cutting out foods containing carbohydrates.

Proper nutrition management and healthy food choices are necessary to avoid complications. Here are 10 foods high in fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

1 - Asparagus

IF you love asparagus, you’ll be glad to know that it’s a non-starchy vegetable with only five grams of carbohydrates per serving and nearly two grams of dietary fibre. It is also high in the B vitamin folate, vitamin C, and a health-promoting antioxidant called glutathione. Glutathione can help boost the immune system and promote lung health by protecting against viruses. Besides, the American Heart Association recommends including foods containing folate and other B vitamins in your diet to help lower homocysteine levels. A serving of asparagus is ½ cup, or 115g cooked, and provides 33 per cent of the daily recommendation of 400 micrograms of folate, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

2 - Yogurt

A SWEET treat that is creamy, delicious and good for you. An excellent source of calcium, which helps promote bone health and teeth as well as muscle and blood vessel function, yogurt is also a good source of energy-boosting vitamin B2 (riboflavin) and protein. It also provides zinc, which can be deficient in some people with diabetes and aids in immune function and wound healing. Probiotic yogurt contains health-promoting bacteria that is beneficial for digestive health, including lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome.

There are different yogurts to choose from, such as Greek yogurt which is thicker than regular yogurt.

Add a zero-calorie sweetener (or a teaspoon of honey), nuts or sunflower kernels or a sprinkle of whatever spices that sound good — cinnamon, cardamom, or ginger. One serving of two per cent Greek yogurt is 170g.

3 - Beans


YOU can’t go wrong with beans. Beans are high in fibre and protein and are a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as folate, iron, magnesium and potassium, which is essential for the water balance between the cells and body fluids.

There are many delicious varieties to choose from, such as black, kidney, garbanzo, white, lima, and pinto. Soak and cook dry beans or use canned beans. Try serving beans as your main protein source for lunch or dinner a couple times a week. Protein is an important part of your daily nutrition and it helps the body repair and produce cells as well as build muscle and bones.

The American Diabetes Association counts one serving of beans, or ½ cup, as one starch and one lean meat.

4 - Broccoli

DON’T underestimate the nutritional power of broccoli. Truly a super food, this non-starchy vegetable has more vitamin C per 100g than an orange and is considered a good source of fibre and the antioxidant beta-carotene, which the body uses to make vitamin A. Its vitamin A power promotes healthy vision, teeth, bones and skin. Vitamin C is essential for healing wounds and is a disease-fighting antioxidant.

One serving of broccoli is one cup raw or ½ cup cooked.

5 - Carrots

COOKED or raw, carrots are a healthy addition to any meal plan. Have them for a snack with two tablespoons of light ranch dressing or include them in your main course or as a side dish. It provides vitamin A from the antioxidant beta-carotene. Carotenoids found in yellow and orange vegetables may also help reduce insulin resistance. Carrots are also another source of fibre and heart-healthy flavonoids, which can also be enjoyed as a juice with other fruits and vegetables such as apples, beets, and ginger.

One serving of carrots is one cup raw or ½ cup cooked.

6 - Fish

FISH is a great addition to your meal plan, especially Omega 3-rich fatty fish such as salmon, trout, tuna, sardines, mackerel and herring. Omega 3, a type of polyunsaturated fat, can help lower triglycerides. It is said to be able to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of blood clots. Although fish is good for you and is considered a lean-meat substitute for its high protein, be careful of the harmful mercury levels and other toxins found in some fish. According to the American Heart Association, swordfish, shark, golden bass, golden snapper, and king mackerel have the highest mercury levels. Fish lower in mercury for a 85g serving include wild salmon, herring, catfish, and canned light tuna. Try preparing fish on the grill, baked, broiled, or steamed. One serving of fish is 28g.

7 - Oatmeal

A BOWL of oatmeal in the morning will keep you full for longer, getting you to your mid-morning snack or lunch. The soluble fibre in oats can help lower cholesterol, improve blood pressure and stabilise blood glucose by slowing digestion. Oats are also a source of antioxidants.

Flavour oatmeal with cinnamon or artificial sweeteners to keep calories low. Oats also provide vitamin E and B as well as magnesium and potassium, which may help lower blood pressure.

There are several types of oatmeal to choose from. Steel-cut oatmeal has a dense, thick texture and can take up to 45 minutes to cook, while old-fashioned (or rolled) oats are thinner and take less time to cook. The less processed the oat, such as steel-cut oatmeal, the lower it is on the glycemic index, which may help control blood glucose. Quick cooking oatmeal and instant oatmeal are also available. Be sure to check the labels for added salt and sugar. One serving of oatmeal is ½ cup.

8 - Spinach

POPEYE ate spinach for a reason. This dark green leafy vegetable is loaded with vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B2 and B6, folate, copper, magnesium, potassium, zinc and fibre.

Studies have found that spinach has the potential to decrease the risk of cancer, cataracts and heart disease. Spinach is high in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that the body uses to make vitamin A. Beta-carotene helps protect the body’s cells from free radicals, which contribute to chronic illness and ageing.

When buying canned spinach, choose a low sodium one. One serving of spinach is ½ cup cooked or one cup raw, which is great for salads.

9 - Soya

OFTEN used as a substitute for animal products, soya is an excellent power food to incorporate in your diet, even if you aren’t a vegetarian. Soya can be eaten in whole bean form, such as baby green soya beans called edamame, which is the highest in protein. Other soya products include soya milk or cheese, tofu, soya nuts, or vegetarian meatless products. Soya is also a source of niacin, folate, zinc, potassium, iron, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a fatty acid that can be converted into Omega 3 fatty acids, known to help lower cholesterol. It also contains nutrients such as niacin, zinc, potassium and folate that serve important functions in the body. However, do check with a health-care professional before increasing potassium intake if you have kidney complications or kidney disease.

Serving sizes depend on whether soya is consumed in food or drink.

10 - Nuts

NUTS are a good source of protein, fibre, vitamin E, and flavonoids and are power-packed with monounsaturated fat.

Plant sterols known to lower cholesterol also naturally occur in nuts. But be careful. Although nuts contain healthy fats, they are also high in calories. Walnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, pecans and hazelnuts are just some of the nuts that can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, making them heart-healthy choices. Eat nuts in moderation and avoid salted, sugared or chocolate-covered options that increase calories and decrease their natural health benefits. One serving of almonds, cashews, or mixed nuts is six nuts. One serving of pecans is four halves, a serving of hazelnuts is five nuts, and a serving of pistachios is 16 nuts, as per the American Diabetes Association.

Quit Tips

Are you one of most smokers who want to quit? Then try following this advice.

1. Don’t smoke any number or any kind of cigarette. Smoking even a few cigarettes a day can hurt your health. If you try to smoke fewer cigarettes, but do not stop completely, soon you’ll be smoking the same amount again.
Click to read page in Spanish

Smoking "low-tar, low-nicotine" cigarettes usually does little good, either. Because nicotine is so addictive, if you switch to lower-nicotine brands you’ll likely just puff harder, longer, and more often on each cigarette. The only safe choice is to quit completely.

2. Write down why you want to quit. Do you want to—

* Feel in control of you life?
* Have better health?
* Set a good example for your children?
* Protect your family from breathing other people’s smoke?

Really wanting to quit smoking is very important to how much success you will have in quitting. Smokers who live after a heart attack are the most likely to quit for good—they're very motivated. Find a reason for quitting before you have no choice.

3. Know that it will take effort to quit smoking. Nicotine is habit forming. Half of the battle in quitting is knowing you need to quit. This knowledge will help you be more able to deal with the symptoms of withdrawal that can occur, such as bad moods and really wanting to smoke. There are many ways smokers quit, including using nicotine replacement products (gum and patches), but there is no easy way. Nearly all smokers have some feelings of nicotine withdrawal when they try to quit. Give yourself a month to get over these feelings. Take quitting one day at a time, even one minute at a time—whatever you need to succeed.

4. Half of all adult smokers have quit, so you can— too. That’s the good news. There are millions of people alive today who have learned to face life without a cigarette. For staying healthy, quitting smoking is the best step you can take.

5. Get help if you need it. Many groups offer written materials, programs, and advice to help smokers quit for good. Your doctor or dentist is also a good source of help and support. See a list of National Groups with information and resources on how to quit.

Vaksin Kanser Pangkal Rahim (Servik)

Menteri Kesihatan, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai mengumumkan mulai tahun depan (2010) , seramai 300,000 remaja perempuan berusia 13 tahun di seluruh negara akan diberi suntikan pelalian virus papilloma manusia (HPV) bagi mencegah penularan kanser serviks.Pemberian vaksin berkenaan adalah di bawah Program Pelalian HPV yang diluluskan oleh Kabinet baru-baru ini dan melibatkan kos RM150 juta setahun.

Suntikan vaksin itu akan memberi kesan yang lebih baik bagi mencegah kanser serviks terhadap golongan remaja berbanding dewasa khususnya mereka yang berumur melebihi 40 tahun. Pemberian suntikan dirasakan perlu kerana kanser serviks merupakan kanser kedua yang kerap berlaku di kalangan wanita di negara ini selepas kanser payu dara.

Kira-kira 80 peratus kes kanser serviks didiagnosis di negara-negara membangun dan risiko mendapat kanser ini di kalangan wanita Malaysia ialah 19.7 per 100,000 penduduk. Ia adalah tinggi berbanding dengan lain-lain negara ASEAN.Sehubungan itu, vaksin HPV adalah antara peluang terbaik bagi menentang penyakit kanser di peringkat awal selain daripada pemeriksaan pap smear.

Sebanyak tiga dos HPV perlu diambil. Dos kedua akan diberi selepas sebulan atau dua bulan dos pertama diberikan manakala dos ketiga akan diberikan selepas enam bulan tarikh dos pertama.Vaksin ini akan hanya perlu diambil sekali dalam seumur hidup. Keberkesanannya dalam mencegah penularan kanser serviks jenis 16 dan 18 adalah sehingga 98 peratus.

Perunding Pakar Onkologi, Obstetrik dan Ginekologi dan juga Ahli Lembaga Persekutuan Antarabangsa Ginekologi dan Obstetrik (FIGO), Datuk Dr. Abd. Aziz Yahya, berkata, di Malaysia, separuh kes baru kanser serviks meninggal dunia hanya semasa peperiksaan pertama.''Ini kerana kebanyakan pesakit ini hanya datang melakukan pemeriksaan setelah berada di tahap empat. Manakala peringkat umur yang kerap memperoleh kanser ini ialah antara 40 tahun hingga 49 tahun dan 50 tahun hingga 59 tahun.

''Mereka ini selalunya terdiri daripada ibu yang mempunyai tiga orang anak yang masih bersekolah yang sangat memerlukan kasih sayang dan penjagaan daripada seorang bernama ibu. Jadi sekiranya ibu mendapat kanser serviks, maka perpisahan bakal berlaku.''Oleh itu, kita harus memastikan golongan ini tidak mendapat kanser serviks kerana ramai yang akan merasai kehilangannya. Selain itu, wanita perlu bersikap proaktif dalam usaha mengambil langkah untuk melindungi diri mereka daripada penyakit ini,'' katanya ketika menyampaikan kertas kerja mengenai Kanser Pangkal Rahim dan Vaksin HPV di Malaysia, di Kuala Lumpur baru-baru ini.

Ujar Dr. Abd. Aziz, pencegahan kanser serviks boleh dilakukan sama ada menerusi suntikan vaksin atau ujian pap smear secara berkala. Suntikan vaksin adalah senjata yang boleh membantu sistem imun mengenali dan memusnahkan virus sebelum bertapaknya sesuatu jangkitan.''Suntikan vaksin dianggap sebagai kaedah pencegahan utama manakala pap smear pula adalah tahap pencegahan sekunder. Jadi, ia adalah satu kombinasi pencegahan yang amat penting.''Namun begitu, hanya 30 peratus wanita di negara ini yang menjalani pemeriksaan ini. Ini kerana ramai yang masih tidak mendapat informasi mengenai pemeriksaan yang mampu mengesan kanser pada peringkat awal.

Di Amerika Syarikat, setiap wanita diwajibkan menjalani pap smear setiap tahun manakala di United Kingdom setiap tiga tahun. Oleh itu di Malaysia bagi wanita yang berisiko seperti perokok, telah mengandung sebanyak lima kali dan mempunyai banyak pasangan, dinasihatkan menjalani pemeriksaan setahun sekali manakala yang lain tiga tahun sekali.''Dengan cadangan kerajaan untuk memberi suntikan vaksin HPV secara percuma itu, adalah cadangan yang terbaik bagi mencegah kanser dari seawal usia remaja dan sebelum berkahwin. Bahkan, kajian perintis program vaksin HPV yang dilakukan ke atas 10,000 wanita di Amerika Syarikat pada tahun 2000 menunjukkan bahawa tiada seorang pun daripada mereka mendapat kanser. Oleh itu, kesan vaksin HPV bagi mencegah penularan kanser serviks adalah yang terbaik. Di samping tiada kesan sampingan selepas pengambilan vaksin HPV,'' katanya.

Sementara itu, Presiden Persatuan Doktor Pakar Kesihatan Awam Malaysia, Prof. Datuk Dr. Syed Mohamed Aljunid berkata, kajian yang dijalankan oleh Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) pada 2007 menganggarkan kos yang perlu ditanggung kerajaan untuk merawat pesakit kanser serviks di seluruh negara ialah RM389.8 juta setahun.Dianggarkan setahun sebanyak 4,969 kes kanser pangkal serviks dan lama di negara dan setiap seorang memerlukan RM78,642,226 untuk rawatan.

Tanpa program suntikan ini, dianggarkan 1,215 daripada 260,000 kes kanser mengalami kanser serviks. Tetapi dengan adanya program ini, maka 838 kes kanser serviks boleh dielakkan.Lebih memeranjatkan dengan adanya program vaksin ini, perbelanjaan rawatan boleh dikurangkan sebanyak RM17,774,239 setahun iaitu 68.7 peratus penjimatan.

''Oleh itu, vaksin HPV adalah inisiatif yang positif kerana pencegahan adalah lebih baik daripada rawatan,'' katanya.
