Hijama (Wet Cupping) Therapy

Overview & Clinical Mechanism

Hijama (wet cupping therapy) is one of the oldest and most evidence-supported practices in traditional Islamic medicine. The process involves placing suction cups on the skin followed by superficial incisions, through which a small volume of stagnant, potentially toxic blood is drawn out. Scientific research indicates benefits across circulatory, inflammatory, and musculoskeletal systems.

We offer:
• Dry Cupping — suction only, no incisions
• Fire Cupping — traditional glass cups heated for strong suction
• Bamboo Cupping — natural bamboo cups for lighter therapeutic suction
• Wet Cupping (Hijama) — full prophetic Hijama protocol

All sessions use 100% sterile, single-use equipment under physician supervision.
