Abstract EN
Hijamah (a well-known Prophetic complimentary treatment) has been used for centuries to treat various human diseases.
It is considered that this traditional treatment (also known as wet cupping) has the potential to treat many kinds of diseases.
It is performed by creating a vacuum on the skin by using a cup to collect the stagnant blood in that particular area.
The vacuum at the end is released by removing the cup.
Superficial skin scarification is then made to draw the blood stagnation out of the body.
This technique needs to be performed in aseptic conditions by a well trained Hijamah-physician.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had described Hijamah as the best treatment humans can have.
This novel treatment methodology has been successfully used as cure for numerous diseases including skin diseases.
In this case report, we discuss about the application of this method in the treatment of psoriasis (an autoimmune skin disease).
Results illustrated that with Hijamah, disease can not only be controlled but can be brought to a nearly complete remission.
