Last three days I got cold, and the weather in Balikpapan city was not well, three days of rain and its really cold especially at night.
To eliminate of my illness I tried the traditional medication which the method I choose was Cupping ( Bekam/Ijamah )
Cupping is treatment in which a cup is attached to the skin surface, usually on the back and the air within the cup is evacuated to suck the skin in and increase local blood flow. The practice has numerous variations including burning alcohol or another substance within the cup to create the vacuum and increase the heat.(www.medterms.com)
We are using the variant of cupping which has been practiced since the age of the Prophet, by dripping out some blood.
After having this cupping method I feel much better now, maybe you had experienced in any other treatment. Just let me know.
