Hijama is a form of wet cupping and is considered a traditional practice. Studies exist, but the quality of evidence for effectiveness across most medical conditions remains limited. It should not be presented as a way to “cleanse the blood” or as a universal treatment. The price-list item `Hijama (16 × 15s)` can use this service page as a specific Ahvar tariff protocol.
