The second categorization relates to "the power of suction related types" including: light, medium, and strong therapy. The third categorization relates to "the method of suction related types" including: fire, manual suction, and electrical suction cupping therapy. The fourth categorization relates to "materials inside cups" including: herbal products, water, ozone, moxa, needle, and magnetic cupping therapy.

Below are the different type of hijama/cupping therapies which used into practice:

1. Dry Cupping - This involves the application of a heated cup on the skin of the back, chest, abdomen, or buttocks. The cooling of the air is then thought to create a suction effect. Bamboo and other materials are sometimes used as alternatives to glass cups

2. Fire Cupping - It involves soaking a cotton ball in almost pure alcohol. The cotton is clamped by a pair of forceps and lit via match or lighter, and, in one motion, placed into the cup and quickly removed, while the cup is placed on the skin. The fire uses up all the oxygen in the cup which creates a negative pressure inside the cup. 

3. Wet Cupping - It is also known as Hijama or Medicinal bleeding, where blood is drawn by local suction from a small skin incision.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine - In Chinese, cupping is known as "pulling-up jars". According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), cupping therapy is done to dispel stagnation (stagnant blood and lymph), thereby improving qi flow, in order to treat respiratory diseases such as the common cold, pneumonia and bronchitis. Cupping also is used on back, neck, shoulder and other musculoskeletal conditions.
