Hijama Cupping & Natural Remedies for Seasonal Bronchitis and Better Health

Seasonal bronchitis is a recurring challenge for many people in the UK, especially during the colder months. While prescription medications play their role, increasing numbers of people are exploring traditional methods like Hijama Cupping Therapy alongside natural remedies to support their respiratory health.

At Pure Hijama Cupping Therapist (Female Only | Manchester, UK), we specialise in Moving Cupping, Dry Cupping, and Wet Cupping therapies tailored to your needs. This blog explores how Hijama and natural remedies together can help manage bronchitis symptoms, improve lung function, and support long-term wellbeing.

Understanding Seasonal Bronchitis

Seasonal bronchitis occurs when the bronchial tubes become inflamed, often due to viral infections or allergies. Common symptoms include:

• Persistent coughing

• Chest discomfort

• Breathlessness

• Excess mucus production

According to the NHS (2024), bronchitis can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-lasting), with lifestyle factors such as smoking or poor diet worsening symptoms.

Why Consider Hijama Cupping for Bronchitis?

Hijama therapy is an ancient treatment, endorsed in Prophetic medicine, now recognised in holistic health circles in the UK. It helps with:

• Reducing inflammation in the bronchial tubes

• Removing stagnant blood and toxins

• Boosting immune system response

The British Cupping Society (2024) acknowledges that cupping can relieve respiratory conditions and strengthen general health when done professionally.

Types of Hijama Cupping:

• Moving Cupping: Gliding the cup over lubricated skin helps relax bronchial muscles.

• Dry Cupping: Applying cups without incisions improves circulation and muscle relaxation.

• Wet Cupping (Hijama): Small incisions draw out stagnant blood, offering detoxification benefits.

Natural Remedies for Seasonal Bronchitis and Respiratory Health

Alongside Hijama, combining simple home remedies improves results and maintains wellbeing.

1. Herbal Teas

• Ginger and turmeric: Anti-inflammatory effects.

• Thyme and liquorice: Relieve cough and mucus build-up.

2. Steam Inhalation

• Using essential oils like eucalyptus or peppermint helps open airways.

3. Black Seed Oil (Nigella Sativa)

• Known for its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.

4. Moringa Leaf Powder

• Rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients. Helps fight infection and promotes lung health.

5. Balanced Nutrition

• Include vitamin C, zinc, and magnesium-rich foods.

• Avoid cold, oily, and processed foods, as highlighted in the guidance on Hijama Life UK.

6. Physical Activity and Breathing Exercises

• Gentle exercise like walking or yoga improves lung capacity and clears mucus.

How Hijama Cupping Can Help with Bronchitis and General Health

Hijama cupping therapy improves blood circulation, detoxifies the body, and boosts immune function. Its role in managing bronchitis and seasonal health issues is supported by traditional use and growing clinical interest.

• Moving Cupping (Massage Cupping): Relaxes bronchial muscles and eases breathing.

• Dry Cupping: Improves blood flow and reduces muscle tension around the lungs.

• Hijama Wet Cupping: Detoxifies the body by removing stagnant blood, supporting immune health.

The British Cupping Society recognises Hijama as a complementary therapy assisting in respiratory conditions and musculoskeletal issues (British Cupping Society, 2024).

How Many Hijama Sessions Are Recommended?

For effective results:

• Acute Bronchitis: 1–3 sessions.

• Chronic or Seasonal Bronchitis: 4–6 sessions spaced every 2–4 weeks.

• General Health Maintenance: Regular Hijama once every 3–4 months.

At Pure Hijama Cupping Therapist, each treatment plan is customised to the client’s specific needs and medical history.

Important Note: Seek Professional Advice

While Hijama therapy and natural remedies are beneficial, always consult with a qualified Hijama practitioner and healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.

⚠️ Important Medical Precaution

The content shared in this blog is intended for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional before beginning any complementary treatment, including Hijama (wet cupping) therapy.

At Pure Hijama Cupping Therapist, your safety and wellbeing are our top priority. To ensure every session is both effective and safe, it is essential that you consult your GP or a healthcare provider before booking if you have any of the following conditions or circumstances:

🚫 Conditions & Situations Requiring Medical Clearance or Contraindication:

• Pregnancy – Hijama should not be performed during pregnancy due to potential risks to the mother and baby.

• Anaemia – Low haemoglobin or red blood cell counts require controlled cupping and medical supervision.

• Heart Disease – Cardiac conditions may be affected by changes in circulation during Hijama.

• Diabetes – Poorly controlled diabetes can delay healing and increase infection risk.

• Clotting Disorders or Blood Thinners – These increase the risk of excessive bleeding or bruising and require medical approval.

• Low Blood Pressure – Cupping may further lower blood pressure, which can lead to dizziness or fainting.

• Cancer (Active or Recent) – Those undergoing cancer treatment may have compromised immunity or increased risks during therapy.

• HIV or Hepatitis C/D – These viral infections impact the immune system and liver. Hijama must only be considered with specialist medical guidance and in a strictly controlled setting.

• Infections – Wet cupping should never be performed if there is an active infection present in the body.

• Weakened Immune System or Recent Surgery – Individuals recovering from surgery or with suppressed immunity are more vulnerable to complications.

• Steroid Use (including corticosteroids) – Long-term or high-dose use of steroids can suppress the immune system, thin the skin, and delay healing. This increases the risk of post-cupping side effects such as bruising or infection. Medical advice is essential before proceeding with treatment.

• Liver or Kidney Disease – These organs play key roles in detoxifying the blood; Hijama may place stress on these systems if they are impaired.

• Severe Varicose Veins or Vascular Conditions – Performing Hijama on or near compromised veins can cause further damage or blood vessel rupture.

• Neurological Disorders (e.g. epilepsy, multiple sclerosis) – Such conditions may require specialist assessment before cupping.

• Severe Mental Health Conditions – Clients with untreated severe mental illness (e.g. psychosis, schizophrenia) may not be suitable candidates for treatment due to the nature of the therapy.

• Immunosuppressive Medication (e.g. chemotherapy, transplant medication) – Increases risk of infection and delayed healing.

• Eating Disorders or Severe Malnutrition – Individuals with very low body weight or nutrient deficiencies may not tolerate cupping well.

• Severe Allergies or Anaphylaxis History – If you have known allergies to oils, latex, or other substances, please let us know in advance.

• Under 18 or Over 65 Years of Age – Cupping for children and the elderly must be approached with caution due to sensitive skin and potential underlying health concerns.

• Skin Conditions, Open Wounds, or Infected Areas – Hijama should never be carried out on inflamed, broken, or infected skin.
