Figure 5. Second technical step in Al-hijamah is skin scarification (shartat mihjam) while third technical step is second suction. A. Skin scarifications (in Arabic: shartat mihjam) are small short superficial skin incisions (1-2 mm in length and 0.1 mm in depth). B. Skin scarifications open skin barrier for the excretion of collected fluids inside the skin uplifting (skin dome). Skin scarifications help transmission of second suction pressure to the inside of the skin uplifting (skin dome) to excrete collected fluids. Skin scarifications help transmission of second suction pressure to the inside of the skin uplifting around skin capillaries for more percutaneous capillary blood filtration. Skin scarifications cause a minor bleeding and loss of blood cells through the induced superficial skin incisions (scarifications). C. Criteria of shartat mihjam : Therapeutic Benefits of Al-hijamah: in Light of Modern Medicine and Prophetic Medicine : Science and Education Publishing
