Healing through SuctionCupping, an ancient form of therapy that uses suction to get energy flowing in the body. Known to have been in practice in Greek, Arabia and China, the therapy has many names, like Banki, Kyukaku, Gak Hoi, Hijama and Singhi to name a few. The therapy uses glass cups that create vacuum at the area, causing a suction force that increases blood flow. Cupping can either be wet or dry - wet cupping would include making small incisions at the area where the vacuum will be created, allowing the blood to flow out of the body. “We do wet cupping only on two dates in a month which are decided by the lunar calendar (Hijri calender). We believe that on these days the toxin levels in the body are highest, “ says Ahmed. He explains that going through wet cupping at least once or twice in a lifetime is very good for the body as it is cleansing. “We check for people with low blood count (anemia) and low blood pressure. We don’t get the blood tests done unless we think its necessary.” Also, wet cupping can only be done on an empty stomach. This is of utmost importance. A new battle in war on fatThe other treatment available at Bloom n Blossom is FIR Mesotherapy uses far infra red rays to sweat the body. When the rays penetrate the skin, they resonate at the same frequency as the water molecules in the body, helping in breaking down the fat molecule. This results in the body excreting the fat through the sweat. Says Mirza Jamal Ahmed, the proprietor of the therapy centre, “One can lose up to one kilogram of fat in one sitting which lasts about 30 minutes.”The incubating cabin which seats four has a temperature control based on the person’s requirement. Says Ahmed, “The treatments are specific to the body. Each person has a different requirement. So we check the body before we go ahead.” A full body scan is conducted, both before and after the treatment so as to monitor and compare the results. It is also necessary to check the blood pressure. “People with low blood pressure can’t undergo treatment. Also people with injuries, implants or transplants, pregnant mothers and women going through their period. These precautions are necessary.” adds Ahmed.The FIR mesotherapy is in some aspects similar to a sauna session except that instead of steam the infra red rays are used. These are the rays that are in fact emitted by the Sun and are good for the skin. This therapy is said to help with weight loss, stress, skin beautification, blood circulation, cardiovascular health, sleep, cellulite reduction, chronic pain, muscle spasms, detoxification and indigestion.
