Hijama for Treating Poisoning:

Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Abbas (RA) narrated that a Jewish woman served poisoned meat to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). When he was informed about it, he sent for her and asked, “Why did you do that?” She replied, “If you are truly Allah’s Messenger, He will inform you, and if you are not, I would save people from you.”

When the Prophet (PBUH) felt the pain from the poison, he underwent Hijama. Once, while in Ihram, he felt the pain during a journey and again opted for Hijama. [Ahmad 1/305]
