PREVENTION OF HYPERTENSION DISEASES BASED ON THE HIJAMA METHOD

Abstract

In recent decades, there has been a steady increase in the incidence of hypertension among the population of different age groups. The main problem remains late diagnosis and insufficient effectiveness of monotherapy. In this regard, the search for alternative and comprehensive methods of prevention and correction of blood pressure is becoming relevant. Hijama, as an ancient form of wet bloodletting, is becoming an object of attention for scientists and practitioners. The present study examines the effect of hijama on blood pressure levels and the general condition of patients with prehypertension and stage I arterial hypertension. Hypertension remains one of the most common chronic pathologies affecting the health of the world's population. Modern methods of prevention and treatment include medicinal and non-medicinal approaches. One of the promising non—medicinal methods is hijama, a traditional therapy based on bloodletting. The purpose of this study was to study the effectiveness of the hijama method in the prevention of hypertension. The results show the positive effect of hijama on lowering blood pressure and improving the general condition of patients. The hijama method can be considered as an additional method of preventing hypertension in complex therapy.
