Amel Tuka undergoes traditional bloodletting: This is a great reset for the body after everything

A great reset after everything, and then we go for new victories again – said the best Bosnian-Herzegovinian athlete of all time, current world champion in the 800 meters, Amel Tuka, who posted on his Facebook profile, reports the news agency Patria.

Tuka revealed that after big and strenuous competitions he undergoes hijama – traditional bloodletting practiced by Muslims worldwide, which medical experts have said is a true blessing for the body.
With the help of vacuum cups, impure blood is drawn from the body, which improves circulation, breaks up clots, reduces fat, and has other positive effects on the body. According to religious teachings, hijama was also recommended by the prophet of Islam, Muhammad (peace be upon him).

In just four days, Tuka won two gold medals at competitions in Monaco and Switzerland. At the prestigious Diamond League, which he ran on the 17th of this month, with a time of 1:42.51 in the 800 meters, he captivated all athletics fans, achieving the 10th best result of all time in world athletics, breaking his personal record, as well as the record of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

One of the best ambassadors of our country, he will be in Bosnia and Herzegovina until August 9, after which he leaves for the World Athletics Championships, which will be held from August 22 to 30 in Beijing, writes NAP.
