Abu Kabshah Al-Anmari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to get cupped on his head and between his shoulders, saying: Whoever sheds this blood will not be harmed by not treating anything with anything [Narrated by Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah].
Razin narrated from him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was cupped on his head for poisoned mutton. Ma’mar said: I was cupped without poison on my head, and my good memory left 1 me until I needed prompting for the opening chapter in prayer.

Note 1
(1) The statement: "my good memory left me": Perhaps due to excessive bloodletting, or cupping in the wrong place or time. Otherwise, Ibn Abbas’s hadith, narrated by At-Tabarani and Abu Nu’aym, states: Cupping on the head cures seven ailments, if intended, including insanity, headache, leprosy, vitiligo, drowsiness, toothache, and blurred vision. Thus, in Al-Mirqat.
