Blood Thick in Hijama? I get this question a lot, and its a question I asked myself when I first started studying hijama. In brief I was told its because of the toxicity and stagnation in the blood. However, I was still puzzled. Doesn’t blood clot naturally when its released from the body?

This is what I thought and many of my clients. Even after becoming a certified therapist with conviction in the healing abilities of hijama, I was still unsure about the thick blood resulting in the cup or in the body.

After years of experience I have concluded that its very clear that this thick blood it stagnant toxic blood that is in the body and not a result of the blood being exposed to the air in the cup.

Logical reasoning being:

1) Clients will first start the hijama process and depending of their health have thick dark blood, but after multiple session the blood will become a lighter color and the blood will become viscosis (not thick).

2) Some cups on a client will be full of viscose fluid blood and some will be full of thick blood.

3) Clients with injuries we observed to have more thick blood on the site of their injuries.

These three points listed above make it clear that there is a relation to the thick blood inside the body rather than the blood becoming thick after exiting the body.
