THE BLESSING
Bloodletting (hacamat in Turkish) is one of the oldest medical practices in use even today for its countless benefits (described in the following item dedicated).
Bloodletting (called hemodilution and, with a double meaning, phlebotomy in modern medicine) was a widespread medical practice in antiquity until the end of the nineteenth century … in fact still in use in many areas today.
Bloodletting is one of the oldest medical practices, having been practiced in several ancient peoples, including the inhabitants of the Mesopotamia, gli Egyptians, i Greeks, i Maya, and the Aztecs. In Greece, bloodletting was in use in the period of Hippocrates, which mentions bloodletting.
Arcagatus, one of the first Greek doctors to practice a Rome, used bloodletting extensively.
The popularity of bloodletting in Greece was reinforced by the ideas of Galen.
There were two key concepts in his bloodletting system:
-
The first was that blood was created and then consumed, it did not circulate and therefore could "stagnate" at the extremities.
-
The second was that the humoral balance decided between illness and health, with i four humours which were
-
blood,
-
the phlegm,
-
black bile, e
-
yellow bile,
in parallel with the four classical Greek elements
-
or air,
-
or water,
-
or earth and
-
or fire.
Galen believed that blood was the dominant mood, the one that most needed to be controlled. In order to balance the humors, a doctor would remove the "excess" blood (the plethora) from the patient.
Il Talmud recommended to practice bloodletting only on a specific day of the week or specific days of the month.
Similar rules, though less codified, could be found in Christian writings advising saints whose days were favorable for bloodletting.
Muslim authors also advised bloodletting, particularly for feverish illnesses.
The practice had probably been handed down to them from the Greeks; as Islamic theories became known in the Latin-speaking countries of Europe, bloodletting became more widespread. Together with cautery, was central to Arab surgery.
Even after the humoral system had fallen out of use, the practice was continued by surgeons and barber-surgeons.
While bloodletting was often recommended by doctors, it was enforced by barbers.
This division of labor led to the distinction between physicians and surgeons.
The red and white striped barber shop pole, called barber pole, still in use today in some countries, derives from this practice:
-
red represents blood drawn,
-
white represents the hemostat being used, e
-
the pole itself represents the stick held in the patient's hand to dilate the veins.
Bloodletting was used to "treat" a wide range of ailments, becoming a standard treatment for nearly every ailment, and was practiced both prophylaxis and therapy.
The practice continued throughout Middle Ages ma began to be questioned in the 16th century, particularly in northern Europe.
le could also be usedleeches.
Drawing so much blood as to induce a syncope (fainting) was considered beneficial, and many sessions were terminated only when the patient began to lose consciousness.
In 1844 Joseph Pancoast listed the benefits of bloodletting in a "Treatise on Operative Surgery".
Not all of these reasons are thought to be incorrect today.
The opening of the superficial vessels in order to extract blood is one of the most common operations of the professional.
The main results, which we obtain with this, are:
-
The decrease in blood mass, by which the capillaries or major vessels overloaded with some affected parts can be relieved.
-
The modification of the strength and frequency of the action of the heart.
-
A change in blood composition, making it less stimulating; the proportion of serum increases after bleeding, due to the fact that it is restored more easily than other blood elements.
-
The production of the syncope, in order to produce a sudden general relaxation of the system.
-
The derivation, or extraction as it is claimed, of the force of the circulation from some of the internal organs, towards the outflow of the superficial vessel. These indications can be satisfied by opening a vein or an artery.
Hacamat, translated into Italian means cupping, is the way blood is brought out from the surface of certain areas of the human body.
What are the benefits of hacamat?
According to the hijri calendar, which days are right in each month, which days are not?
The benefits of hacamat are numerous and, to be effective, it must be done on specific days, which are indicated by the person (who must be an expert) to whom you rely.
HOW TO CARRY OUT THE TREATMENT
The blood accumulated under the skin has the consistency of a dark colored pellet that has lost its blood quality and negatively affects our immune system, opening the door to many diseases.
This blood is drawn via the hacamat.
If the hacamat is done correctly at regular intervals, in appropriate time intervals, it ensures that heavy metals, toxins, free radicals, leftovers from drugs and hormones used in the body can be eliminated, thus the body tends to be brought back to its normal state. normal form.
CUTS MADE DURING THE TREATMENT
Traditionally, the glass made from horn is now made with the help of glass cups or vacuum sets. Initiation is usually done with the help of a razor blade, in clinics with a scalpel.
Care should also be taken that all materials used are disposable.
In traditional hacamat, glass beakers/cup are used to suck blood.
The important thing is to have the procedure carried out by a qualified person.
WHAT ARE THE AREAS?
Although it is usually applied from the back region, it can be applied to the head region and other acupuncture points of the body according to the disease and certain specific requests of the person (where possible).
However, the area of application must be determined by the person doing the treatment.
