What Is Hijamah?

Hijamah is the Islamic practice of wet cupping therapy, in which cups are applied to specific points on the body to create suction, followed by small superficial incisions to draw out stagnant blood. It is one of the most frequently recommended therapies in the prophetic tradition and has been practised by healers across the Muslim world for over a millennium.

What to Expect

Your session begins with a brief consultation to understand your health goals. Cups are then placed on the body — typically the back — and suction is applied. For wet cupping, tiny, sterile superficial incisions are made before a second round of cupping draws out a small amount of blood. The process is precise, clean, and performed by trained practitioners using fully sterile single-use equipment.
