Is Hijama (wet cupping therapy) effective for treating hair loss, and can it actually restore lost hair? There are many videos on YouTube showing scalp Hijama and claiming hair regrowth, are these results reliable?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hijama (wet cupping) may improve scalp blood circulation, but there is limited scientific evidence supporting it for hair regrowth. It cannot reverse genetic or hormonal hair loss (e.g. androgenic alopecia). Mild benefit may be seen in stress induced shedding. Combine with proven treatments like minoxidil and check nutritional deficiencies.

View allI have been experiencing hair fall for the past year, partly due to high stress and a surgery I underwent 2 months ago. I consulted two dermatologists, and both said it is due to nutritional deficiency. They prescribed biotin, folic acid, iron, calcium, and vitamin D tablets, which I am taking regularly. I have a healthy diet including almonds, sprouts, milk, fruits, and peanuts, and I no longer have stress. Despite this, only about a quarter of my hair remains. My engagement is next month. How can I regrow my hair by then, what should I do, and how long does it usually take for hair to fully regrow?
