Before wet cupping (hijama), the patient's medical history is evaluated by the physician, and the use of blood thinners is strictly questioned. It is preferred to have a mild state of fasting, avoiding heavy meals 2-3 hours before the procedure. After the application, it is recommended not to let the area come into contact with water for the first 24 hours, to avoid heavy physical exercise, and to consume plenty of water.
Clinical Hygiene and Safety
Disposable sterile materials and vacuum pumps must be used in cupping therapy. Skin incisions should be micro-level and superficial. Aseptic rules are strictly observed in applications performed under the supervision of Dr. Cemal İsmailoğlu.
