Cupping course for high hemoglobin and polycythemia
Integrated Therapeutic Course

High Hemoglobin

& Cupping

High hemoglobin (polycythemia) is an excess of red blood cells that increases blood viscosity and clotting risk. Studies suggest wet cupping may help lower elevated hemoglobin toward normal levels and reduce blood viscosity, as integrative support over 3 sessions, alongside your specialist's follow-up.

Condition Overview

Condition Definition

Polycythemia

Polycythemia is a condition in which red blood cell and hemoglobin levels become higher than normal, increasing blood viscosity and making circulation thicker and heavier. This may cause symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and facial redness, while also increasing the risk of blood clots. Our integrative approach combines wet cupping with nutritional guidance, hydration support, and healthy lifestyle practices alongside ongoing medical supervision.

What Does Science Say?

01

Published Scientific Evidence

A study on 60 participants found a noticeable reduction in hemoglobin levels after cupping. Reviews also suggest it may help lower hemoglobin and reduce blood viscosity without causing anemia when applied correctly.

02

Continuous Follow-up via App

Your journey doesn’t end after the session. Through the center’s app, you can track your plan, schedule lab tests, and receive reminders and support from our team.

03

Results Speak for Themselves

Our team has observed positive outcomes in cases of high hemoglobin after sessions with proper lab monitoring. Results vary from person to person, and specialists always evaluate your labs in coordination with your doctor.
