Hijama Therapy for Common Colds & Flu
Hijama (cupping therapy) is a time-honored Sunnah healing practice that helps your body fight and recover from common colds and influenza. By improving circulation, removing toxins, and supporting immune function, Hijama offers a natural, side-effect-free approach to respiratory wellness.
What Is Hijama?
Hijama involves creating gentle suction on specific skin points to draw out stagnant blood and stimulate lymphatic flow. It’s endorsed in Prophetic tradition for its wide range of health benefits and is performed under strict hygienic standards at Chaudhry Clinic.
How Hijama Helps Treat Colds & Flu
- Immune Boost: Clears toxins and promotes white blood cell activity for faster virus elimination.
- Better Circulation: Enhances blood flow to the respiratory system, reducing congestion and promoting healing.
- Detoxification: Removes inflammatory by-products that exacerbate sore throats and fever.
- Pain Relief: Alleviates muscle aches and headaches commonly associated with flu.
- Stress Reduction: Calms the nervous system, supporting overall immune resilience.
Scientific Insights & Sunnah Wisdom
Modern research in Korea and Japan confirms Hijama’s ability to modulate immune markers and reduce inflammatory cytokines. Coupled with the Prophet’s teaching—“Healing is in three things: a gulp of honey, Hijama, and branding with fire…” (Sahih Bukhari)—it remains a powerful, faith-based remedy.
Who Should Consider Hijama?
- Those experiencing recurrent colds or prolonged flu symptoms
- Individuals with weakened immunity
