Known by many
names, practiced by many cultures, cupping is a practice that
is quickly gaining much attention in the West. The dangers
arises when capitalistic influences driven by the profit
motivated medical industry
encroach
on ancient, conservative, proven, holistic treatments that
were entrusted to
healers, not businessmen. We are now in an
age controlled by the Medical Mafia. No matter if treatments
are termed conventional or alternative, buyer beware.
At
Broken Earth we offer what can easily be described as the
most conservative approach to Hijama or Cupping as commonly
called in the West. The technique incorporated is a very old
healing art sanctioned by Prophets and utilized by healers
over the centuries.
By healers, we mean individuals "authorized" by real masters
who focus on the spiritual, physical and mental wellbeing of
the human being seeking assistance. Morality and spiritual
enlightenment were utmost in the consideration of whom to
authorize with this honored trust. Not solely mental capacity
or prowess.
As long as the
Master is alive, students of this art are sent
to the
Master to be authorized. Authorization is not simply
asserting technical proficiency. It is something much higher -
way beyond a persons mental capacity. These concepts and
teachings can only be understood in the heart - in the realm
of spiritual knowledge. They must be sanctioned and activated
by someone who has successfully achieved these understandings
from their master. Claiming to be a master does not make it
so. The mind can not decipher between a real master and a
fraud. Certainty comes only when the heart judges, not the
mind.
Cupping Charges
Money historically was offered to these healers out of
respect, not by demand. It was a good and honorable charity
bringing with it an amount of protection and healing in and of
itself. An understanding that has almost completely vanished
from today's money driven world. Inconspicuously, money
concealed in an envelope or small gift was presented to the
healer after the procedure - with full manners and respect and
with an intention to provide a charitable reward. This action
actually boosts or empowers the overall effectiveness of the
treatment. Intention, respect, good manners and charity alters
healing energy. The rewards from money well spent by someone
spiritually higher than yourself, falls back on you. The
closer your contribution is to something of real substance,
such as gold, silver, or even a sheep, the more spiritual
weight that contribution carries. Paper money, while
acceptable, is less favorable. Checks and credit cards are
negative in that your contribution is no longer inconspicuous.
Real charity is not tax deductible.

Benefits of Hijama
- Why it Works
The
cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and all of the
blood and lymphatic vessels in the body. The heart acts as a
pump to drive the blood; a complex fluid made up of digested
food materials, respiratory gasses (oxygen being carried in,
carbon dioxide being carried out), and protective and
regulatory chemicals through the approximately 60,000 miles of
vessels in the body.
More than 90 percent of Americans live in jeopardy of having a
serious illness relating to the circulatory system. The human
and financial cost of cardiovascular disease in the U.S. is
astronomical. Every year, approximately 1.5 million Americans
have a heart attack, 300,000 of whom die before receiving
medical attention.
Cupping (Hijama) does not heal your body or have a direct
effect on individual medical problems. Cupping cleans the
bodies cardiovascular system so disease never has a chance to
develop. Where disease already exists, cupping cleans the
system to help the system better fight and recover from the
disease. It is very foolish to wait till this point. Cupping
is best utilized as a preventative maintenance for your body.
In short, it better enables your body to heal itself -- No
drugs, no expensive treatment or therapy and above all, no
operations.
Cupping removes dead blood cells from the cardiovascular
system. It is a bit like getting your radiator flushed. It
should be done before your car overheats and the damage is
done. Practitioners who emphasizes cupping as a cure are like
auto mechanics who claim flushing your radiator will cure your
cracked engine block. Of course, your radiator should be
flushed, but if it were properly maintained no damage would
have resulted to your engine. Fortunately the body, unlike an
engine block can often repair itself. In the case of some
ailments and conditions cupping, if applied soon after the
event, can have a very positive effect, especially with
problems directly related to the cardiovascular system such as
stroke and heart failure. Nonetheless, it is always better to
use cupping as a maintenance and preventative procedure.
Who Should be Cupped
Preventative cupping is predominately prescribed for sexually
active men thirty and older. Women are less susceptible to
problems associated with cardiovascular illness until they
reach menopause. Monthly discharges of blood has a somewhat
similar effect as cupping. When a women's monthly course
stops, preventative cupping should be instituted as a yearly
or by-yearly preventative procedure.
Optimal Times For Cupping
Just as the moon
affects the tide of the ocean, it affects the human body. Therefore, cupping
should be performed on odd days of the lunar calendar when the
forces of the moons pull assist in removing the dead blood cells.
It should also be done in
 the
second half of the lunar month. The 17th, 19th, 21st and 23rd days
are the best for cupping.
Moderate climate is also important, not to hot and not to cold.
When the flowers start to blossom and nature begins it's magical
renewal, it is time for Cupping. Cupping may also be performed in
the early fall, before the first frost.
See the
Cupping Maps for North America
below.
It is impossible to predict with exact accuracy when the optimal
days for cupping will occur. Using scientific calculation you can
predict within one day what the solar calendar day will be for the
corresponding odd lunar calendar day.
Conditions & Dangers
Cupping can be dangerous if not performed properly. Aggressive
treatments (as seen in the picture) on several different parts of
the body are to be avoided. Treatment performed outside of the
optimal odd lunar calendar, last half of the lunar month, on
spring and fall days is not recommended except in emergency
situations only.
The greatest danger is associated risks with blood clotting.
When the procedure is performed correctly and follow-up directions
observed, there is very little risk involved with cupping. One out
of every twenty-five people may experience some light headedness
and some may even faint. This is normally the result of not having
followed the preliminary restrictions or possibly due to weakness
from an oncoming cold or flu. The real danger is falling and
hitting your head as we always perform cupping in the seated
position. With proper monitoring this danger is greatly minimized.
Any signs of dizziness or cold sweat should be reported
immediately.
- Persons
interested in Cupping need to abstain from sexual
intercourse 48 hours before the treatment is scheduled.
- The day of
the procedure you should avoid food and drink, especially
dairy products. One cup of Non-acidic herbal tea is permitted
to help waken.
- A warm
shower should be taken as close to the time of the procedure
as practical.
- The tendency
to become tired after cupping and want to rest is common but
resting must be avoided for at least the first few hours
after the procedure. This is why we schedule all cupping
in the morning to avoid people from resting soon after
the procedure and to make the fasting easier. Inactivity can
result in the promotion of blood clotting, which is why
resting is highly discouraged. In fact a half hour to one
hour walk is recommended. This danger is rare but
nonetheless possible. especially if falling asleep after the
procedure.
- Red marks
from the cupping normally fade within a few days, depending
on skin type.
- The small
shallow incisions necessary to extract the dead blood cells
may take a few weeks to heal. In some cases faint tiny lines
of scarring may persist.
Massage Cupping
The popularity of massage cupping has grown in recent years and is
now being offered as the latest treatment at many spas and by
massage therapists looking to expand their services. As stated
above, the main risks associated with cupping are from blood
clotting. Massage therapists who draw dead blood cells to the
surface of the skin and do not extract the dead blood cells from
the body are greatly increasing the chance of blood clotting.
While short sessions of cupping that do not cause red marks or
bring dead blood cells to the surface may not carry any dangers of
blood clotting, the benefits do not outweigh the potential risks
and we recommend not utilizing this massage technique. As soon as
cups are placed on the skin, dead blood cells start to be drawn
from the body to the specific site. Massage alone is sufficient to
promote circulation and healing - cupping should be reserved for
removing dead blood cells from the body.
