Work processes involved:
I performed cupping therapy (bekam) on the head area, specifically at the ends of the eyebrows (frontal region), for clients suffering from migraines and prolonged headaches. The procedure included cleaning the area, applying antiseptic, gently placing small-sized cups, and closely observing the suction level due to the sensitivity of the area.
