Dr. Izhar HasanUnani Specialist • 18 Years Exp.MD (U), Bachelor of Unani Medicine and Surgery (B.U.M.S)
Cupping prevents hair loss and baldness/alopecia?
By performing dry cupping on the scalp, the suction can help open the follicles and promote blood circulation to help maintain the hair. This theory only applies to follicles that are still alive. Wet cupping on the head can also be effective as it will get rid of many harmful toxins and pathogens that build up underneath the scalp. Individuals who wish to perform dry or wet cupping on their head must shave of their hair for easy suction. If you are worried about hair loss then you can try cupping/hijama therapy.
