In the case of abundant blood in the body, tabi&#8217;at (body nature) deals with this imbalance by elimination of the morbid substances via some controlling mechanisms. If tabi&#8217;at could not react properly, the physician should prescribe an intervention to let the extra blood out. This can be done through phlebotomy, wet cupping, and the use of leech or scarification of the ears. Cupping with scarification may eliminate the morbid substance through the scarified skin, and cupping without scarification evacuates the morbid materials from the compromised organs. Wet cupping in health state is meant to be applied for preventing the blood humor dominance in susceptible individuals. In disease condition, wet cupping is defined as a treatment in which the patients confront the abundance of blood. Wet cupping may have harmful complications in extremely thin or obese patients. Wet cupping should be postponed in patients compromised by diseases especially in the thick phlegm abundance. In Asia, Iranian people, because of religious beliefs, are very interested in cupping therapy. Many unsupervised cupping procedures are performed in Iran, whereas benefits and risks of these procedures are undetermined by providers and clients. In this study, the most important indications and contraindications of wet cupping have been reviewed based on the traditional Persian medicine resources.<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<h2 class=\"t m4 x0 h9 y2d ff5 fs4 fc1 sc0 ls1 ws7\">Keywords:<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"t m4 x0 h9 y2d ff5 fs4 fc1 sc0 ls1 ws7\">Hijamat, traditional medicine, wet cupping<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color: #7f8c8d;\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/24647093\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Access Full-text<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Majid Nimrouzi, Ali Mahbodi, Amir-Mohammad Jaladat, Abbas Sadeghfard, Mohammad M [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"authors":[240,238,239,215,241],"years":[217],"journals":[218],"keywords":[242,243,244],"class_list":["post-450","articles","type-articles","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","authors-abbas-sadeghfard","authors-ali-mahbodi","authors-amir-mohammad-jaladat","authors-majid-nimrouzi","authors-mohammad-m-zarshenas","years-217","journals-evidence-based-complementary-and-alternative-medicine","keywords-hijamat","keywords-traditional-medicine","keywords-wet-cupping"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
