Hijama was alive for 1400 years only to have died a miserable death in the last century. the century that saw the collapse of Ottoman Islamic Caliphate.
Hijamah/bekam/cupping/Blood letting/kop/chantuk was ancient medicine therapy from Old Sumeria, Old China, Rome, Greek and Byzantium.
If government institutions and the private business sector could just sit together and pool their resources in accepting and then establishing hijama as a primary health initiative it would indeed be a quantum leap in assisting the lesser privileged and the marginalised population group. This request is not just addressed to the SA government but all governments particularly the developing nations.
