That is if you are a twin cities resident. Tolaka saaxib Tolka is writen all over it. Mise Af OOdweyne ayaa laguufahamsiiya Maadama suashaadu aiy Af Duke tahaiy. Personally I dont blame the crowd but the brain behind It. It is a self centered and a miscalculated move. CAIR Is a well established Organization. Saxb, kuma nooli cari waxani ka dhacayaan, Soomaali hoosta iska xaganaysa oo isku habsaantay sheekadoodii bay u egtahay, oo ka dhadhansadey, Run ahaantii wax kama ba ogi, waad ku mahadsantahay warbixinta, waxaan se oran lahaa Soomaali kala qoob qoobkedu maaha waxa la isku mashquulsho. Af Duke, Af Afwayne,mawjada kulama fahmin. Ku noqo.

Cupfuls of healing, Alternative Therapy Khaleej Times Online Cupping as practised in Chinese and Arabic medical systems has people swearing by its efficacy. Shashi Joshi finds out more When Gwyneth Paltrow arrived at a New York film premiere with a back covered with round brown welts, it provoked international interest in ‘cupping’ — a Chinese alternative therapy believed to be the cause of the marks. Paltrow was using cupping, along with other New Age remedies like a macrobiotic diet, to shed those post-natal pounds. Funny thing is, there’s little ‘New Age’ about cupping. It has been around for at least 3,000 years in China, and almost as long in the Arab world. The Arabic practice of ‘hijamah’ or cupping even has Quranic sanction. It is believed that the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) used to have hijamah done on him, and it is regarded as a sunnah by many Muslims, practised even in the absence of any ailments. According to Dr Amal Abdel-Samie Abdel-Megeed, clinical pathologist at Abu Dhabi’s Al Noor Hospital, there are more than 10 ways to practise hijamah; two methods are widely practised by Arabs. In dry hijamah, a heated cup is placed over the body to create suction. The skin is pulled up and it is believed to increase circulation in the affected area. The other process of wet hijamah involves bloodletting by means of small cuts. The blood is collected in cups and disposed of. “The areas where the cups are to be fixed is decided by the doctor. In the Chinese system of cupping, the cups are placed over the energy meridians to restore the flow of ‘qi’. In the Arabic method, cups are placed over the inflamed or swollen area, or in an area prescribed by the Quran,” says Dr Abdel-Mageed. According to her, hijamah is an effective complementary therapy to treat conditions such as migraine, lower back and shoulder pain, sciatica, and in chronic cases where medication has failed. The duration and repetition of hijamah is decided depending on the patient’s condition, and the severity of the symptoms. “Almost 70 per cent of patients that are referred to me for hijamah find a considerable reduction in their pain after just two or three sessions,” she says. Hijamah can be carried out on both men and women, though the latter must avoid doing hijamah during the menstrual cycle. “The body needs to be in balance, and menses affect a woman’s hormonal balance, hence it is better not to do hijamah then,” says Dr Abdel-Megeed, cautioning that it is a therapy which must only be done by qualified medical practitioners in the safe environment of a clinic or hospital. In today’s time of potentially fatal infectious diseases such as AIDS and Hepatitis C, it makes sense to have hijamah done by a doctor, rather than a traditional barber. Apart from using disposable equipment and gloves, the infectious waste is disposed of in a safe manner, without putting anyone at risk. Unauthorised practitioners may re-use cups used to collect blood, which can be deadly. “The doctor can also order a patient’s bloodwork before hijamah to see blood sugar and CDC levels, so that the therapy is carried out safely. Sometimes non-medical practitioners advise a patient to fast before hijamah, and that can put a diabetic into coma. Hijamah should be performed three to five hours after a meal,” she advises. There are also a number of alternative therapists in the Emirates who perform cupping, the Oriental way. The Chinese system — tapping your energy The Chinese system relies on the theory of energy, which states that the human body is made up of a meridian that passes energy to the whole body. Cupping focuses on releasing stagnant blood, energy called ‘qi’ and body fluids such as lymph, thus promoting healing. Many patients who have tried it experience almost instant pain relief and decongestion in bad colds and flu. “Cupping is one of the ancient ‘barefoot doctor’ techniques used in China, Eastern Europe and Africa and in many other traditional cultures. It treats many health conditions by suction of the skin surface and the resulting stimulation of the area concerned. By creating a vacuum with small jars attached to congested areas of the body, the practitioner is able to restore the flow of blood and ‘qi’ (energy),” informs Oumayma Nadar, Managing Director at Dubai’s House of Chi. Dr Nieyong Mei of Dr Kamkar Medical & Physiotherapy Centre has been practising cupping since 1990 in Dubai. “Cupping is especially effective in case of lower back, neck and shoulder pain. We offer two types: fixed and moving. In fixed cupping, the therapist heats glass cups on a flame. The cup is then quickly applied to the skin. This creates a vacuum suction so that the skin covered is drawn up a little into the cup. The cups are then left on the body whilst the area beneath is treated,” says Dr Mei. This is what caused Paltrow’s scars, but Dr Mei assures the marks will only last a couple of days. “In moving cupping, oil is applied and the cups are massaged around the affected area. We also practise a form of hijamah, as it is done in Chinese medicine — this method also involves bloodletting, but in smaller amount.” Nadar believes cupping is extremely useful in treating menstrual discomfort, lower back pain, joint pain, cold, flu, respiratory problems and digestive disorders. At House of Chi, Cupping Therapy is offered with Tuina Treatment as a combination for 50 minutes at Dh220. They advise patients to undergo at least two sessions per month. Dr Zheng Nan of King China Acupuncture Centre believes the number of sessions can only be prescribed after examining a patient and depending on the severity of the symptoms. “Again it is not a totally painless procedure. Depending on the patient’s condition, it may be painful for some,” she cautions. “Though unlike hijamah, in Chinese cupping no cuts are made and there is no scarring.” While Paltrow must be thanked for turning the spotlight on this ancient therapy, followers and practitioners continue to swear by it, as they have done for over 3,000 years now.
