Hijama Therapy for Body Pain Relief
Body pain—from persistent backaches to arthritis stiffness—afflicts millions worldwide. While painkillers offer temporary relief, Hijama (cupping therapy) provides a natural, side-effect-free alternative rooted in the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). At Chaudhry Clinic, our certified practitioners combine Prophetic healing wisdom with modern hygiene standards to deliver safe, effective pain relief.
Understanding Hijama for Body Pain Relief
Hijama, also known as wet cupping, involves placing cups on specific points of the skin to create gentle suction. Small, controlled micro-incisions allow stagnant blood and toxins to be drawn out, stimulating fresh circulation and accelerating the body’s own healing processes. Traditionally mentioned in Prophetic medicine, Hijama is now supported by scientific studies demonstrating its impact on pain and inflammation.

The Mechanisms of Hijama in Relieving Body Pain
- Enhanced Circulation: Suction increases blood flow to damaged tissues, delivering oxygen and nutrients needed for repair.
- Inflammation Reduction: Removing metabolic waste and inflammatory mediators helps decrease swelling and joint pain.
- Pain Gate Modulation: Hijama stimulates nerve endings and encourages endorphin release, naturally blocking pain signals.
- Muscle Relaxation: Cups loosen tight fascia and muscle knots, improving mobility and reducing cramping.
- Qi & Energy Balance: According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, cupping restores the flow of Qi (vital energy), harmonizing the body’s systems.
Evidence-Based Benefits of Hijama for Body Pain
Recent research reveals that cupping can lower inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6, TNF-α) and boost antioxidant markers. Clinical trials show significant pain reduction in patients with:
- Chronic lower back pain (60–70% improvement)
- Osteoarthritis of the knee
- Myofascial pain syndrome
- Fibromyalgia-related widespread pain
Hijama for Healing: Prophetic Guidance and Body Pain Relief
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: “Healing is in three things: a gulp of honey, Hijama, and branding with fire. But I forbid my followers to use branding with fire.” (Sahih Bukhari). This hadith underscores cupping’s paramount role in Islamic medicine, encouraging believers to seek its benefits for pain and overall health.
