What is Cupping (Hijama)?
Cupping (Hijama) is a natural remedy strongly recommended by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). He said, “Indeed the best of remedies you have is cupping (Hijama)…” (Saheeh al-Bukhari 5371). On the night of Israa, every angel told the Prophet (ﷺ), “Oh Muhammad, order your Ummah with cupping.” (Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhi 3479).
The word ‘Hijama’ comes from the Arabic root ‘hajm’ meaning ‘sucking’. Cupping involves placing cups on specific points of the body and creating a vacuum to draw impurities and stagnant blood out of the system.
History of Cupping Therapy
Cupping has been practiced for thousands of years across various civilizations:
- China: Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 3,000 years to balance Qi and improve blood circulation.
- Egypt: Mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus (1550 B.C.E.) as a treatment for removing toxins.
- Greece: Advocated by Hippocrates and Galen as a major therapeutic technique.
- Islamic World: Adopted and revived as a Sunnah practice of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).
Types of Cupping (Hijama)
- Dry Cupping: Uses vacuum suction on the skin without any incisions. Improves blood flow and reduces pain.
- Massage Cupping: Similar to dry cupping but with oil (usually olive oil) to allow the cups to glide over the skin.
- Wet Cupping: Involves light incisions on the skin followed by suction to remove harmful, stagnant blood. This should only be performed by certified professionals.
Dry and massage cupping can be done at home using proper equipment. Visit our website www.chaudhryclinic.ca for instructions.
Cupping (Hijama) and Disease Prevention
According to Hadith, cupping is a cure for every disease when performed at the right time. The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Indeed in cupping (Hijama) there is a cure.” (Saheeh Muslim 5706)
“Whoever performs cupping (Hijama) on the 17th, 19th, or 21st (of the Islamic month), it is a cure for every disease.” (Abu Dawood 3861)
