HOW DOES HIJAMA HELP IN WEIGHT LOSS AND BODY TONING?

Metabolic Syndrome (Met S) is defined by WHO as a pathological disorder characterized by Abdominal obesity, Insulin Resistance, Hypertension, Hyperglycemia, Dyslipidemia. Met S is associated with an increased risk of Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases, Cerebrovascular diseases, and all-cause mortality, making it a serious health concern. Although, its pathophysiology is not completely understood, Obesity is believed to be the core of Met S progression. It can be induced by different environmental factors such as diet and habits.

The weight loss drugs approved by FDA, US are highly limited in clinical use for Met S because of moderate to severe adverse reactions. As there are insufficient treatments for Obesity, Complementary and Alternative medicines are urgently required. Clinical Trials showed Hijama combined with diet control had significant effect on Lowering BMI, body weight, Waist circumference, TG, LDL and high sensitivity CRP in Obese adults.

Hijama therapy promotes weight loss and full body toning by stimulating acupoints and running them along the lymphatic lines. These special acupoints provide your circulatory system with the energy required to metabolize body fat, including the fat in your problem areas and the fat around your internal organs. More efficient circulation can facilitate the removal of toxins and excess water that are causing or increasing your weight problems.Clinical Trials showed Hijama combined with diet control had significant effect on Lowering BMI, body weight, Waist circumference, TG, LDL and high sensitivity CRP in Obese adults.
