Hijama for knee-pain by Dr Rizwhan Suleman MChiro of Hijama Centres UK

The following is a video by Dr Rizwhan Suleman (Mchiro) of Hijama Centres UK.

A short video demonstrating how wet cupping therapy/ Hijama can be used in the treatment of knee pain.

Jeff describes how he was going to undergo knee surgery to address his double meniscal tears but was relieved by trying wet cupping therapy with Hijama Centres UK.





BELOW IS A ROUGH TRANSCRIPT OF THE VIDEO 

0:04

Today we are going to be using wet-cupping which is a little bit different to the dry cupping we have shown before.

This is the patient's second wet-cupping session for his knee complaint.

The patient has suffered from an injury to the knee which has caused some damage - he has had an MRI scan which shows some cartilage damage. And it has left him with a bit of swelling in and around the knee and he has been having some pain.

The Wet Cupping Procedure

I am just putting on a little bit of oil to the knee now - this will help the cups to attach properly (once the suction is applied), and then we are going to apply two of the suction cups which are just small cups that we use to create negative pressure on the surface of the skin. So these are single use cups which when we use for wet-cupping we only ever apply the cups on one person once (and then dispose). So we create the negative pressure and what this does is draws any inflammation to the surface of the skin and away from inside of the joint.

To patient: How does that feel Jeff?

Patient: It's great, no pain at all.

Dry suction cups are applied for a few minutes...

1:18 Okay so now we go to the next step of the procedure which is taking the cups off and apply some small little scratches to the surface of the skin, you can see some tiny little marks where we have done the treatment previously - we treated the same area last week. We are going to put some very tiny scratches on the surface of the skin now using a very small blade, so we are just going to nip the surface of the skin.

To patient: Okay, how does that feel?

Patient: No problems at all, no pain.

Tiny little scratches, ... and as you can see they are just tiny little nips, and now I am going to reapply the suction cup.

2:10
All that does now is, the inflammation that is being drawn to the surface of the skin, is now being drawn out. The tiny little scratches that we have put on the surface of the skin, allows that pressure and inflammation to be released. So any of the inflammatory modulators that are stagnant in and around that area, and any pressure in the tissue now gets released, which usually gives a little bit of relief in the pain and symptoms, and also gives you a bit of an increase in range of motion as well, because the swelling itself sometimes stops the joint from moving as well.

2:42 We are just going to do the same now on the opposite side (of the knee). .. and then re-apply the cup. 

Cups are left for another 5-10 minutes.

To patient: How is that feeling?

Patient: There hasn't been any pain at all. It is certainly a lot less painful than not having it treated. It is almost like having a cut when you shave, there is no pain. In fact it is quite a carthogenic experience watching it being done, but it is certainly not painful at all.

3:44
Okay we have had these cups on now for a good couple of minutes.  We have just left the suction applying on those tiny little cuts and slowly drop by drop, small amounts of blood are collecting into the cups, and we have got a little bit of an amount now in this (right hand side) cup. The quantity that we take when we use wet-cupping is usually quite minimal, it is usually not more than anything you would have with a usual blood test, so there is no risks of having of any serious side effects from this.

Now we are going to take the cups off, so as I take this cup off I will try not to make a mess. I am taking the suction away, and then I am going to tip the cup, and this is the consistency of the blood which comes out, you can see it is a little bit thicker than what you would normally expect and that is just because it is higher in proteins - when you have the process of inflammation going on, you have a lot of different chemicals that get released in the blood, especially if the blood has been quite stagnant, it tends to be kind of saturated with proteins, and dead cells and other different debris, and this is what makes the blood slightly thicker.

4:58
Okay so we are removing the second cup now, same thing again, take the suction off, tip the cup, you can see that the blood is quite gelatinous, which is not something you would normally experience when you take a blood test or if you are giving blood - the blood doesn't gel up this quickly. So like I said usually when there is inflammation in and around the knee area you will find the blood gels up a little bit quicker like this, just as a result of higher content of proteins in the blood.

5:32
And the bleeding stops pretty much straight away. So you can see from what we have done here, tiny tiny little scratches on the surface of the skin - pretty harmless, and same on the other side, the bleeding pretty much stops straight away, as you can see there is nothing coming out from that area. Those tiny little cuts or tiny little scratches are healed up pretty much straight away, and that's it.

5:58 Now what were the results? 

Patient: When I had it done on my knee, unlike having it done on my shoulders, to watch it being done, it was quite an interesting experience, seeing some blood come out of my knee. But it was almost instantaneous, it was 'light on, light off'  It reduced the swelling instantaneously and the improvement was immediate.

6:26 Were there any side effects?

I have heard that there can be minor side effects like itching (on the cupped areas) and what have you, but I have had nothing, literally no side-effect whatsoever. Just almost immediate pain relief.

Perlu juga diketahui bahawa ketika mandi wap,anda puan perlu melakukan nya tanpa pakaia.ini penting bagi memastikan wap megenai seluruh bahagian tubuh terutamanya di kawasan -kawasan yang terselindung.

Sewaktu mandi wap puan dinasihatkan melakukan senaman kagel . Ini penting  supaya wap disedut masuk kedalam saluran farj.Dengan demikian ,pergerakan otot -otot dalaman mempercepatakan pengeluran sisa toksik.

Diantara cara mandi wap yang biasa kak ummu buat adalah bersauna dan bertanggas. Bersauna boleh dilakukan semasa berpantang dan tanggas boleh dilakukan selepara darah nifas kering.Kedua-kedua cara ini boleh dilakukan sendiri di rumah tanpa pergi kesalon.Seeloknya sebelum memulakan bersauna dan bertanggas minum air suam 1 gelas.Selepas bersauna dan bertanggas eloklah puan ambil 1gelas  lagi air minuman. Air suam tau bukan air teh atau air kopi !!!

Craving some pampering during your pregnancy?

 Why not indulge

 yourself and enjoy a day or two at a spa. Many offer a whole range

of special treats for pregnant women, ranging from massages

 to manicures. Try these tips for a relaxing and wonderful spa getaway.

When can I go to a spa during pregnancy?

The best time to go is during your second trimester.

 Morning sickness is behind you and your energy levels are higher.

The second trimester is also the time when the chances

 of miscarriage or early labour are less of a worry.

 Some spas will suggest you don't have treatments or

join some exercise classes until you're at least 12 weeks pregnant.

 You may find that some spas also restrict women who

are more than 32 weeks pregnant.

Make sure you tell the staff at the spa how many

 weeks pregnant you are when you book your treatment

 Check too that they are experienced in looking after pregnant women.

 

Is there anything I should avoid at a

spa while I'm pregnant?

 

It's best to stay away from heat treatments when you are pregnant.

These include:

·         saunas

·         steam rooms

·         tanning beds

·         hot springs

·         whirlpools, hot tubs and jacuzzis

Raising your body temperature could affect the circulation of blood and

nutrients to your baby and cause problems.

Should I book a massage during pregnancy?

A massage when you're pregnant can be a wonderful way

to ease an aching back, stiff shoulders and sore hips.

 It can also pep up your mood and get those feel-good,

 pain-relieving endorphins flowing around your body,

 leaving you relaxed and refreshed.

For the best massage for you, check how much

 experience your masseuse has with pregnant women.

A good guide is whether the spa offers massages

specifically for pregnant women. It's likely to mean the

therapists have pregnancy massage training and experience.

 A good massage therapist could also offer suggestions for

 massage that your birth partner could do for you when you're in labour.

When you go for your massage, tell your masseuse if you have

 any particularly sensitive areas or if you are uncomfortable.

 The spa will have extra pillows, wedges and extra padding to help

 you get comfortable. Your masseuse will help you move into

different positions, sitting, lying on your side or semi reclining.

Some spas have a hole cut out of the massage couch for

your bump, but some pregnant women can find these

make their lower back ache.

If you've been sensitive to smells since being pregnant,

 do ask for scent-free lotions. And if you can't bear

that whale music, ask for something else!

You need to be extra careful if you're planning an

aromatherapy massage with essential oils.

Some oils can be harmful during pregnancy.

 Make sure your aromatherapist is trained in treating mums-to-be,

 and tell her how many weeks pregnant you are.

Can I have a facial when I'm pregnant?

A facial can be wonderfully relaxing and can keep your skin healthy.

Just bear in mind your skin may be more sensitive

 now you're pregnant and some products may

 irritate your skin, even if you've used them before.

Ask your beauty therapist to use gentler products for

 sensitive skin. You could ask her to do a patch test before she starts.

Also make sure your beauty therapist isn't using anything

 containing retinoid. This is a type of vitamin A that speeds

up cell division. It can help your skin, by boosting your skin's

 renewal and preventing skin collagen from breaking down

. However, there's a chance that it could harm your baby if you are exposed to a lot of it.

 

Can I have a manicure or pedicure

while I'm pregnant?

 

Beautiful-looking hands and feet always make you feel good

. It's fine to use nail polish and nail polish remover

during pregnancy. However, it's worth knowing that

chemicals in nail polish can be harmful if you're regularly

 exposed to them. The two most common chemicals are

 formaldehyde and toluene, both of which can irritate

 your eyes, throat and lungs. Toulene can also cause

problems for your baby if you're exposed to a lot of it regularly.

You may decide to avoid the nail bar during the first trimester.

 You could also ask you nail technician

 if she can use nail polish that's

 free of formaldehyde and toluene,

 and make sure the room is well-ventilated.

 

I can't go away to a spa.

 How can I pamper myself at

 home while I'm pregnant?

If don't have the time or money for a spa treat,

you can always create your own mini spa at home:

·         Start by tidying tidy away any clutter in your bedroom and bathroom.

·         Ask family members to leave you in peace and get ready to relax.

·         Create a soothing mood by putting on some soft music and lighting some scented candles.

·         Give yourself a face mask.

·         Enjoy a deep, but not too hot, bath.

·         Have a cleansing shower and condition your hair.

·         Wrap yourself in a warm towel and moisturise your body.

·         Finish by relaxing in bed with a good book to send you off to sleep.
