Cupping is one of the traditional medicine methods that has been used for centuries. Also known as bloodletting, the history of cupping goes back as far as human history itself. Today, many people still practice cupping, and performing it at specific times is an important topic.

The timing of cupping is determined by the lunar calendar, specifically based on the days of the Hijri calendar. This calendar is used in Islam to determine the start of the Ramadan month. The best time for cupping generally coincides with the period after the full moon.

During the two-week period following the full moon, the moon's tidal effect on the Earth (the ebb and flow) is believed to cause water-soluble toxins in the human body to accumulate on the surface of the skin, considering that 70% of the human body is water. Therefore, cupping performed during this period may be more effective.

However, the timing of cupping is not solely based on the lunar calendar. It can also vary depending on the person's health, lifestyle, and dietary habits. For example, in the treatment of certain diseases, cupping may be recommended at specific times, while in other cases, any time may be suitable.

The reason for performing cupping at specific times is the belief that toxins accumulate on the skin surface, with water-soluble toxins being more likely to build up during certain lunar phases, particularly the two-week period after the full moon.

In conclusion, the timing of cupping is an important subject and can vary depending on a person's health, lifestyle, and dietary habits. However, further research is needed regarding the effects and timing of cupping therapy.
