I found this](http://www.arabnews.com/?page=1§ion=0&article=96223&d=15&m=5&y=2007&pix=kingdom.jpg&category=Kingdom) article rather interesting as it also quoted that the practice has been mentioned in hadith, although on a personal level I find it highly repulsive.
What exactly is the benefit of drawing blood from a body, to improve health or vigor ?
Re: Sucking Out Blood Is Big Business
Well...to begin with....the same benefit that is derived from donating blood.....your body then replaces that blood with newly generated juice.....healthier cells hopefully.
Cupping does not necessarily involve sucking blood out.....it can be done without puncturing the skin. The purpose is to increase the circulation of blood to areas of the body that may be damaged in one way or another.
Re: Sucking Out Blood Is Big Business
as you mentioned...
Why not just DONATE that blood - double benefit
That Hijama blood can't be recycled
Re: Sucking Out Blood Is Big Business
Absolutely.
I remember years ago I would post threads reminding people to please, please go and donate blood.
Most desis living in the western hemisphere don't.
Re: Sucking Out Blood Is Big Business
I have tried donating blood even in college…I was always turned back after they’d check my lower lids:cb:…maybe now I can…
My brother started donating his blood every couple of months…he turned into a skinny dude…I should remind him to do that now..
