Cupping Therapy: Dry & Wet (Hijama) in Watertown, MA

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping Therapy is an ancient holistic healing method used to relieve pain, improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and detoxify the body. At AcuMeD, we offer both **Dry Cupping** (using suction to stimulate blood flow) and **Wet Cupping (Hijama)**, which combines suction with minor therapeutic bloodletting for deeper detoxification.

Our Watertown, MA clinic provides personalized treatments to address chronic pain, muscle tension, respiratory issues, and overall wellness.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy

• Relieves muscle tension and chronic pain
• Improves blood and lymph circulation
• Promotes detoxification of the body
• Supports respiratory and digestive health
• Reduces inflammation and accelerates healing
• Enhances overall energy and wellness

How Dry & Wet Cupping Works

Dry Cupping: Cups are placed on the skin to create suction, which draws blood to the surface, releases muscle tension, and increases circulation.

Wet Cupping (Hijama): After applying suction, small, controlled incisions allow a small amount of blood to be drawn. This promotes detoxification and deeper healing for chronic conditions.

Both methods are safe, effective, and performed by trained practitioners at AcuMeD.
