The full moon is believed to have a strong influence on the human body, both physically and emotionally. Since the body is made up of around 70% water, and the moon affects tides and water movement, it’s thought to also affect bodily fluids like blood, lymph, and hormones.
🌙 How the Full Moon Affects the Body:
1. Increased Blood Flow and Pressure:
During the full moon, the body’s fluids may move more actively, which can slightly increase blood circulation and pressure.
2. Emotional Sensitivity:
People may feel more emotional, restless, or experience mood swings due to hormonal and energy shifts.
3. Toxin Accumulation:
Traditional healing believes that toxins rise to the surface of the body around the full moon phase, making it easier to remove them.
🩸 Hijama (Cupping Therapy) During the Full Moon:
1. Best Time for Detoxification:
Performing Hijama a few days after the full moon (usually 17th, 19th, or 21st of the Islamic lunar month) is considered the best time because the body is in a natural detox phase.
2. Deeper Cleansing Effect:
Since circulation and body pressure are at a peak, bloodletting is more effective and may help remove stagnant or impure blood more efficiently.
3. Enhanced Healing and Relaxation:
Many patients report better relief from pain, headaches, and fatigue when Hijama is done after the full moon, as the body’s natural energy is more balanced.
