There are religious communities in this world that receive guidance in each and every sphere of life through their own rules and regulations. The Muslim community for example is guided by Quran and Hadiths.The Prophet of Islam PBUH believed that Allah has a remedy for every possible illness in the world. The Islamic Golden age that spans between eighth to fifteenth centuries noticed many great advances in the field of science and medicines. The scholars from the Islamic world assembled information and knowledge from across the known world and then these findings were combined with their own research.
One of the fields of science that was explored by these scholars was the area of Islamic medicine. The Ouran and hadith corroborates that the Muslims have a duty towards the sick and ailing. This medicine is often referred to as the medicine of the Prophet. The Islamic medicinal community developed a system of medicine that is based on the scientific facts and resembled the contemporary medicinal practices hugely. The medical practitioners stressed on the needs of health sciences and encouraged the practice of surgery whenever needed.
Hijama which is also known to be a forgotten Sunnah is a part of Islamic medicine. It is also known as cupping as cups were used as therapeutic equipments. There was a time when horn or cup was heated to make a negative pressure and this was utilized to draw out blood and pus. Then gradually it was discovered that this process was effective in treating many other disease and slowly it turned into a therapy. But in the contemporary times germ free plastic cups are used with a pump attached to create the vacuum inside the cups.

The practitioners always wear gloves and tools that are used in the therapy are used only ones and then those are disposed. It is a therapy that can be performed on most parts of a human body.
