Asif Hijama is a form of alternative medicine in which a local suction is created on the skin. Cupping has been characterized as a pseudoscience.[1] There is no solid evidence that it has any health benefits, and there are severe concerns it may be harmful to the epidermal, circulation and nervous system.==Safety== Cupping is generally safe when applied by trained professionals on people who are otherwise healthy.[2] It is not recommended for people with health problems due to side effects.[2] Cupping is not recommended as a replacement for typical treatment.[2] Cupping may result in bruising, burns, pain, and/or skin infection.[2]

Research suggests that cupping is harmful, especially in people who are thin or obese: According to Jack Raso (1997), cupping results in capillary expansion, excessive fluid accumulation in tissues, and the rupture of blood vessels.[3]

Cupping therapy adverse events can be divided into local and systemic adverse events. The local adverse events were scar formation, burns, skin infection, panniculitis, abscess formation, pain at the cupping site, and systemic adverse events including: anemia, dizziness, vasovagal attack, insomnia, headaches, and nausea.[4]

Fire cupping can sometimes result in minor to severe burns at the cupping site, and may lead to hospitalization and may even require skin grafting to repair the injury.[5] Other burns can also occur due to carelessness with the flammable substances being used, such as spills and over application.[6][7]
