we are going to discuss a treatment method for hair loss which has
been being used from ancient times for several ailments and it’s an
ancient Greek treatment which has been practiced since centuries.
It’s called Hijama and it’s a very successful treatment method for
several types of disorders. In the present time, this treatment method
is called Cupping therapy in which an airtight cup is used for
treatment.
Normally we see that when a person is sick and being treated he is
supplied blood but in Hijama therapy we remove blood to treat the
patient.
By Hijama therapy we can treat many disorders like Migraine, Back
pain, Joint pain, Slip disc, etc. Apart from this Hijama therapy we can
also treat hair loss and help the regrowth or lost hair. This is a
method in which you can see the results in a very short time.
In Hijama therapy we do not require any medicine. Most people are
still not aware of this century-old treatment method. Now in many parts
of the world, Greek medicine training is being provided and most of the
doctors practicing it find it a very effective treatment.
Even the Indian government and Ayush ministry have started new
research in Hijama therapy to make it available to common people in
India.
If we notice, most of the diseases are caused by bad or dirty blood.
In Hijama therapy we remove this bad blood from the body to heal the
body.
Hijama therapy is one of the most successful therapy to treat hair
loss and it’s a very easy and affordable treatment option. It doesn’t
cost a lot like Hair transplant which is still a very costly treatment
method and has its own risks.
To perform Hijama therapy
Shaving is required because the airtight cups need to stick to the
scalp. This cup is made of very hard plastic or Glass which is attached
to an airgun which is pulled to stick it to the scalp.
The cups are placed on those places where you have lost hair. In Cupping therapy maximum 5 cups are attached to head at a time.
After attaching the cups for the first time they are taken off after a
while. You can notice the marks of the cups on the scalp. After
removing the cups the therapist will make small cuts on the scalp where
the cups were placed. After that, the cups are attached again and made
airtight.
Now the therapist will leave the cups in place for several minutes.
You can see blood accumulating in the cups. You don’t need to worry
about the blood as this is just the dirty or bad blood which is being
pulled out. The main reason for hair Loss is DHT and it also destroys
hair follicles.
By cupping therapy we get rid of the bad blood along with DHT and it
controls the amount of DHT in blood. One the DHT has been controlled
hair follicles start to regrow and you can notice new hairs as well as
it stops hair loss.
Cupping therapy acts to trigger the hair follicles by stimulating the
blood flow of the scalp. It delivers good nutrition for hair roots,
increases the movement of the sweat glands and opens the pores of the
skin. Cupping therapy not only removes the bad blood from the skin but
also removes harmful elements absorbed underneath the surface of the
skin. It stimulates, therefore, the process of hair growth.
If you are suffering from hair loss or if you are already bald then you must try this therapy.
Male pattern baldness is one of the most common forms of hair loss that happens in men. It is also known as genetic hair loss or alopecia androgenic. Hair loss
normally happens slowly; usually they start to notice a bald spot on
the crown of the scalp. Depending on the individual’s health, many start
to see thinning of the hair around the temple area as they reach their
thirties. Your hair goes through different phases; your hair growth
cycle normally lasts for two to three years, it grows approximately 1cm
every month. Your hair grows and then rests for a couple of months and
then falls out, after a couple of days new hair starts to grow in its
position. It is normal to shed some hair every day but if a person
starts to see excessive hair loss then it is a sign of male pattern
baldness. – Hijama For Hair Loss
There are so many reasons why excessive hair loss takes place in both
men and women. For example a person maybe ill for couple of months or
it can be someone who came out from surgery, or if the person is
stressed out, they may see a large amount of hair loss. It can be
related to thyroid gland being over active or under active, or female
and male hormone deficiency. Many women notice hair loss for few months
after they’ve had a baby because of the change in hormone level. Some
medicines also cause hair loss such as blood thinners also known as
anticoagulants, steroids, birth control pills, high blood pressure or
heart problems etc. There are certain infections such as fungal
infection that can affect the scalp and follicle to cause hair loss.
Certain hairstyles can also cause hair loss such as pigtails, cornrows
or tight hair rollers, the pull on your hair can cause traction
alopecia. The traction causes the hair follicle to become wounded and
damaged permanently if not treated at an early stage.
Research shows us men who suffer from male pattern baldness; they
have a high rate of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in their
follicles. They believe that DHT is one of the main causes of hair
loss. However scientists still do not understand its relationship with
hair loss. They do not know why it only occurs at the top of the head
and why the sides and back are immune to it? They also found that a lot
of people do not take care of their hair, which leads to building up
dirt and oil that clogs up the follicle making it harder for the hair to
grow back. In time the hair grows thinner and thinner until it
completely stops growing and the follicle closes permanently. – Hijama For Hair Loss
Hijama For Hair Loss
Can you prevent male pattern baldness? No, you cannot, but you can
slow it down. Science recently discovered a possible cure for hair
loss. They have been working with stem cells for years, until recently a
fluke discovery was made. The experiment was performed on a wounded
mouse. They saw new hair follicles started to grow in the injured area.
This is exciting news for every hair loss sufferers but experiments are
still going through tests and studies. While science is slowly catching
up, people have alternative medicines to help slow down hair loss. The
only two drugs that are FDA approved and shown to help slow down hair
loss are Finasteride (Propecia) and Minoxidil (Regaine). Finasteride
stops DHT being formed, in theory, stops hair loss. However with every
drug there are some side effects, many people reported their sex drive
was low, some even reported they lost the ability to have an erection.
Minoxidil is applied on the scalp; this helps it to circulate blood to
the follicles thus having healthy hair growth. However, with minoxidil,
only a low percentage of people saw good results.
The purpose of Hijama on the scalp is to use the suction to open up
the hair follicles and promote blood circulation to help maintain the
hair, while getting rid of toxins and DHT that build up underneath the
scalp.
So, before cupping therapy happens, a deep tissue massage takes place
on the scalp and then cupping is placed on the scalp with suction so
that a vacuum is created. This is left on for a few minutes, and is
known as dry cupping, and then it is removed by releasing the pressure.
Light incisions on the scalp are created using a blade and then the cup
is placed back on the same area and suction is applied to create a
vacuum again. This is where all the bad blood including chemicals and
toxins like DHT are suctioned out. The dark red blood is coagulated into
a jelly-like substance and is discarded. This process can then be
repeated to other areas on the scalp 2-3 times.
Now that you have an idea of how Hijama therapy works, let’s take a look at a clip to see exactly how it is done. – Hijama For Hair Loss
This guy is from India and came to a clinic to get Hijama therapy to
treat male pattern baldness. We can see he is thinning on the temples
and the crown region and seems to be showing us his concern for hair
loss. He ended up shaving his head because I read that you would need to
shave it in order to get the suction to properly work on the scalp. The
doctor points on the areas that are thinning and show us the place he
plans on putting the suction cups. After placing the cups for a few
minutes, the doctor removes them and creates multiple slits on the areas
to draw blood on both temples and the crown. You can see the blood
accumulating and coagulating inside the cup as it is turned into a
jelly-like substance. It’s pretty gruesome but he doesn’t seem to be in
any discomfort or pain during this whole process.
There have been claims that people who have received Hijama therapy regrew hair so I wanted to research and see if it really worked for hair loss .
I was unable to find any scientific studies on its efficacy so it looks
like it is not scientifically proven to regrow hair. It may help with
blood circulation and like micro-needling, perhaps the incisions made on
the scalp may induce wound healing and growth stem cells and create new
blood vessels in the tissue, but there’s no study on this so I can’t
really say if it will work for hair loss or not. It does seem a bit
barbaric, especially withdrawing all of the blood out. If you’ve done
this, let me know how it went and if you have experienced any gains in
hair.
As far as prices, Hijama therapy
seems to cost between $40-$80 USD per session in the US, and in India,
prices range anywhere from 500 to 2500 rupees, which is between $10-$35
USD but also depends on the number of cups used and the areas treated.
