Ilaj-bil-Tadbeer (Regimental Therapy)

Ilaj-bil-Tadbeer, or regimental therapy, is the Unani system of physical therapies such as cupping (hijama), massage, steam bath and others, aimed at removing waste matter and restoring balance.

Evidence for many of these therapies is limited. Make sure procedures are done with sterile equipment by a registered practitioner, and avoid them if you have bleeding disorders, anaemia or are on blood thinners.
