The word “hijama” comes from the Arabic word al-hajm, which means "sucking" or "vacuum". Hijama is also known as cupping or wet-cupping, and is a natural therapy that involves applying suction cups to the body to draw out toxic blood. It is one of the oldest and often the most effective method of holistic treatment. Practised in a clean and safe environment, small scratches are made on the surface of the skin and the blood containing toxins is removed from the body with the help of a suction pump. Another form of cupping offered is Dry Cupping, and Massage Cupping.

Wet Cupping: The skin is sanitized and superficial scratches are made on the surface of the skin. Cups are placed back on the spots. Due to the suction, toxic blood will be released. The cups are removed, Spots are cleaned with alcohol wipes. Coconut oil is applied for faster healing.

Dry Cupping: The process involves creating suction with a cup placed on various areas of the body. This technique offers three key benefits: 1) It draws accumulated toxins into the cupping area, 2) It helps relax the muscles, and 3) It numbs the area, reducing pain when shallow incisions are made.

Hijama is generally not painful. You may feel a slight pulling sensation during suction, but it is typically soothing and relaxing. Superficial scratches during wet cupping are usually described as tickling or mild scratches.

Hijama helps improve circulation, detoxify the body, reduce muscle pain, and alleviate stress. It is also effective for promoting relaxation and overall well-being.

A typical Hijama session with consultation may take around 40-60 minutes, depending on your treatment needs and the number of areas being targeted.

Most people may experience redness at the site of the cups, which usually fades within a few days. Hijama is generally safe when performed by a trained professional.

The frequency of Hijama therapy depends on your individual health goals. Many people benefit from a session once a month, but your therapist will provide personalized recommendations.
