Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points. NotesWikipedia's article on cupping therapy, consulted 2026-08-12. Useful here for the American Cancer Society's statement that available scientific evidence does not support health-benefit claims for cupping, a 2014 review attributing earlier favourable results to poor study design, and Cambodia's Ministry of Health 2016 warning against the practice, a different angle from Hijama's existing facts about origin, period and practitioners.
