    About this ebook

    Cupping therapy is an alternative form of treatment that has been practiced since ancient Egyptian times to prevent and cure various ailments. In an introductory guide for both students and practitioners, Dr. Aziz Al Safi Ismail relies on research, observation, and professional experiences to share valuable information about the basis, practice, and benefits of this unique therapy.

    Dr. Ismail, a professor of public health at Universiti Sains Malaysia, discusses cupping therapy primarily from Islamic and scientific perspectives while featuring historical facts, techniques and application, clinical research evidence, and the advantages of the treatment. Along with illustrations, diagrams, detailed step-by-step instructions, Dr. Ismail also addresses appropriate cupping points for specific illnesses, the characteristics of a cupping centre, and ways to prevent undesirable side effects. Included are helpful tips regarding pre- and post-care and the most beneficial time to undergo cupping.

    Blood Cupping Therapy is a concise guidebook for both students and practitioners that utilizes research and clinical experiences to promote awareness of a complementary treatment to modern medicine.

      Praise be to Allah with His blessings, my dream of seeing information and techniques on cupping therapy compiled in a bookis finally realised. My utmost gratitude to all members of my family who truly understand my job and were always supportive throughout the course of completing this book. Only Allah can repay all ypur sacrifices. Thank you to the team - Dr Nik Rosmawati Nik Husain, Profesor Madya Dr Mohamed Saat Ismail, Dr Suhaily Mohd Hairon, Dr Mujahid Bakar, Puan Rehanah Mohd Zain, Dr Azhar Amir Hamzah, Dr Yvonee Tee Get Bee, Puan Fatimah Desa and Puan Norazlin Mohd Umar, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia Kubang Kerian. This book would not have been published if not for your contributions.

      Dr Suhaily Mohd Hairon

      My utmost gratitude to Professor Dr. Ab. Aziz Al-Safi Ismail for the trust, determination and encouragement he showed throughout the writing of this book. I may not have completed this if not for his support. I would also like to thank my family who really supported my efforts in this piece of writing.

      Dr Mujahid Bakar

      image3.tif

      Alhamdulillah, Praise be to Allah, the Creator of the Universe, salutations and blessings on the Prophet ( 14149.png ).

      I praise Allah for giving me the strength and Hidayah to complete this piece of writing on an old form treatment which has been ‘rebranded’ and modernized.

      Nowadays, cupping therapy is increasingly garnering the attention of the members of the society. It is also a source of attraction for medical tourism. This writing revolves around cupping therapy from both Islamic and modern medicine perspectives, therefore, it should create an awareness about a practice strongly encouraged by the Prophet ( 14147.png ). It not only heals and treats illness but most important of all, it is a Sunnah.

      May this book spark the interest amongst Malaysians, particularly the Muslim society to explore this treatment process.

      I would also like to thank Universiti Sains Malaysia for helping me complete this writing task. I also humbly ask the respective scholars to correct any error particularly on facts related to religion.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

      Blood Cupping Therapy was written based on research, observation and experience gained while offering cupping therapy to patients at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. It is hoped that this book gives more exposure on cupping, its benefits and advantages to members of the society.

      We would like to thank all those who were involved in the writing of this book especially the Cupping Research Team - Dr Nik Rosmawati Nik Husain, Profesor Madya Dr Mohamed Saat Ismail, Puan Rehanah Mohd Zain, Dr Azhar Amir Hamzah and Dr Yvonee Tee Get Bee, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian. Our utmost gratitude to the support staff - Puan Fatimah Desa and Puan Norazlin Mohd Umar who offered feedbacks and vetted the layout of this book.

      We also thank all those who actively participated
