Hijama (Cupping Therapy): A Holistic Approach to Health & Spiritual Well-being

Hijama, an ancient therapeutic practice deeply rooted in tradition, offers profound benefits extending beyond physical ailments to encompass spiritual well-being. This time-honored treatment, also known as cupping therapy, holds particular significance for individuals grappling with Sihr (magic) or Jinn possession, providing a complementary path to healing and relief.

Historical accounts, notably from Ibn Al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him), highlight the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) personal use of cupping on his head to treat a magical affliction. This serves as a powerful testament to Hijama’s efficacy, which Ibn Al-Qayyim underscored as one of the most potent remedies for magic when performed with precision and adherence to established practices (Zaad al Ma’aad).

The Essence of Hijama (Cupping Therapy)

Hijama is not merely a remedy; it’s a profound therapeutic approach, highly esteemed and frequently practiced by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) himself. Its fundamental principle lies in its ability to draw out stagnant blood and toxins, thereby stimulating circulation and promoting overall vitality.

“Indeed the best of remedies you have is Hijama.”
[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5371)]

Targeting the Head: The Vital DU 20 Point in Hijama

Among the various points for Hijama, the DU 20 point, located on the crown of the head, holds exceptional importance. Known as Ummu Mughits or ‘Ala Ro’si (the ‘mother of diseases’), this area is considered crucial because many ailments are believed to originate from it. Consequently, performing Hijama on this specific point can offer therapeutic benefits for a diverse array of conditions, including:

• Chronic Headaches & Migraines
• Vertigo and Sinusitis
• Glaucoma and certain skin conditions like Acne
• Various Mental Disorders, fostering clarity and balance

Beyond its physical applications, Hijama at the DU 20 point is also recognized for its potential to enhance memory and cognitive function, contributing to improved intelligence and mental sharpness. This makes it a truly holistic treatment for both physical health and mental acuity.
