Abstract:

Traditional Persian medicine is based on humoral medical concepts. In the case of abundant blood in the body, tabi’at (body nature) deals with this imbalance by elimination of the morbid substances via some controlling mechanisms. If tabi’at could not react properly, the physician should prescribe an intervention to let the extra blood out. This can be done through phlebotomy, wet cupping, and the use of leech or scarification of the ears. Cupping with scarification may eliminate the morbid substance through the scarified skin, and cupping without scarification evacuates the morbid materials f

Abstract:

This study explores the level of understanding and perceptions of cupping therapy within the rural Felda Jengka 8 community in Pahang. Cupping, a form of traditional medicine, remains integral to the local healthcare practices, deeply rooted in cultural and religious beliefs. However, the community’s understanding of the practice is inconsistent, largely shaped by informal knowledge rather than scientific evidence. A mixed-methods approach, combining surveys and interviews, was used to assess the socio-cultural factors influencing the community’s knowledge of cupping, including education and a

It is classified into nanophthalmos, relative anterior microphthalmos, and posterior microphthalmos based on the anterior segment: posterior segment ratio.
