as salam alykom amma
U know I actually met a woman who performs it, and the whole idea is that the body has a map with different locations. Each illness has a soot or an area for cupping to be performed on. Like the chinese accu puncture, they too has a map for the body. For example if one suffers illness in the back, they do the cupping in the thigh.. etc. As for the area at the bottom of the head from the back, they prform the cupping for any illness and sometimes one even just performs it to renew energy. This is the spot where the Messenger salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam had hijama made on.
