General Questions

What is Hijama therapy?
Hijama (therapeutic cupping) is a traditional Sunnah practice that involves creating suction on the skin using specialized cups to promote detoxification, improve circulation, and restore balance to the body. It is deeply rooted in prophetic medicine and has been used for centuries for its numerous health benefits.

Is Hijama Sunnah?
Yes, Hijama (cupping therapy) was prescribed to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) during the Isra and Miraj (the Night Journey and Ascension). Various hadith mention that angels recommended cupping to him as a beneficial treatment. 

For example, in a hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas (RA), the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 

"I did not pass by any group of angels on the night of Isra, but all of them said to me: 'O Muhammad, tell your Ummah to do cupping (Hijama).’"
— [Sunan Ibn Majah 3477] 

Hijama was divinely endorsed as a beneficial practice. The Prophet (ﷺ) himself regularly practiced and recommended it for various health benefits.

What are the benefits of Hijama?
Hijama therapy helps with: 

• Detoxification and purification of the blood
• Pain relief (e.g., back pain, migraines, joint pain)
• Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
• Enhanced immune function
• Stress reduction and mental clarity
• Balancing hormones and energy levels

During & After Your Session

A typical Hijama session lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on your treatment plan. 

What should I expect after Hijama therapy?

• Possible fatigue or lightheadedness (drink water and rest).
• Increased energy, mental clarity, and relief from pain within a few days.

How often should I get Hijama therapy?
