Hacamatın Kısa Tarihi

Hacamat tedavisi binlerce yıldır Çin’de kullanılan kupa terapisi yöntemiyle ortak prensiplere sahiptir. Önceleri bu işlemler için hayvan boynuzları kullanılırdı.
 Hacamat terapisti boynuzdan havayı çekerek bir vakum oluştururdu.
Bu yöntem dışında bambu, seramik ve cam kupalar da kulanılmıştır.
