Learn more about our Hijama (wet cupping) services. Understanding Hijama (Wet Cupping) Therapy What is the Meaning of Hijama (Wet Cupping)? Hijama, also known as wet cupping therapy, originates from the Arabic term meaning “to suck” or “bloodletting.” This technique focuses on extracting toxic blood from the body, aiming to enhance healing and promote wellness. Furthermore, you can find more information on traditional medicine practices at the World Health Organization website. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Hijama therapy falls under traditional therapeutic methods, similar to dry cupping therapy that ancient civilizations observed. Moreover, to learn more about TCM, consider exploring resources from the TCM World Foundation. The Process of Hijama (Wet Cupping) Initial Diagnosis and Preparation The Hijama therapy procedure typically starts with a diagnosis based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, often involving pulse and tongue analysis. This assessment helps identify internal organs that may not be functioning optimally. For more details on TCM diagnosis, you might find information on specialized TCM websites. Application of Cups and Incisions Following diagnosis, practitioners choose specific points related to the affected organs for Hijama. They then apply disposable cups to these points, utilizing vacuum suction to stimulate local blood flow. After a brief period of 5–10 minutes, practitioners remove the cups, make small, superficial incisions on the skin, and reapply the cups to draw out stagnated or impure blood. Consider experiencing this process at our Hijama clinic. The Importance of a Qualified Hijama Practitioner Understanding Qualifications A qualified Hijama practitioner possesses comprehensive knowledge of human anatomy, internal organ systems, and disease pathology. They undergo thorough training to understand when, where, and how to perform cupping effectively and safely, ensuring the benefits of Hijama are maximized while minimizing risks. At our clinic, our practitioners are fully qualified. Risks of Unqualified Therapists Conversely, a Hijama therapist lacking proper qualifications may not have the necessary medical understanding. This lack of knowledge can lead to potential health risks if someone performs Hijama incorrectly. Therefore, it is crucial to seek out certified professionals for this therapy.

Hijama: The Prophetic Cure for Every Disease | Chaudhry Clinic The Power of Hijama: A Prophetic Cure for Every Disease In Cupping (Hijama) There Is a Cure and A Blessing Discover the profound benefits of Hijama (cupping), a revered practice in Prophetic medicine. The Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized its healing power when he said, “Healing resides in three things: the cupper’s incision, the drinking of honey, and cauterization with fire, but I forbid my Ummah (nation) from cauterization (branding with fire).” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5681), Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3491)]. This statement underscores the significance of Hijama as a therapeutic method. Furthermore, Jaabir ibn Abdullah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) stated, “Indeed, in cupping (Hijama) lies a cure.” [Saheeh Muslim (5706)]. Ibn Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) advised, “Cupping (hijama) on an empty stomach* is best. Within it, you find a cure and a blessing…” [Saheeh Sunan ibn Maajah (3487)]. * ‘alaa ar-reeq in Arabic means to fast until after receiving cupping treatment. Following the completion of the cupping session, one may eat and drink. The Optimal Timing for Hijama: A Cure for Every Disease Abu Hurairah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam) instructed, “Whoever undergoes cupping (hijama) on the 17th, 19th, or 21st day (of the Islamic, lunar month) will find it a cure for every disease.” [Saheeh Sunan abi Dawud (3861)]. This indicates the importance of timing to maximize the benefits of Hijama. Indeed, Al Hijamah (Cupping Therapy) represents the finest remedy recommended and utilized by the Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him). He proclaimed, “Verily, the best of remedies you possess is Hijama (Cupping)” [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (5371)]. Moreover, the Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) recounted that on the night of Israa (his ascension to the heavens), every angel he encountered said to him, “O Muhammad (peace be upon him), command your Ummah (nation) to practice Hijama (Cupping).”[Saheeh Sunan Tirmidhee (3479)]. Consequently, this highlights the profound significance and excellence of this Sunnah.

Book Your Hijama Session Exploring Principles of Traditional Healing Methods Traditional healing methods, including cupping (Hijama) and acupuncture, share foundational principles that emphasize the body’s inherent ability to heal and the importance of balance. These ancient systems often view health as a state of equilibrium within the body’s vital energies. The Fundamental Concept of Energy Flow Many traditional healing modalities underscore the significance of unimpeded energy flow within the body. For instance, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this energy, known as Qi, circulates through specific pathways called meridians. Similarly, other traditions recognize vital life forces that require free flow for optimal health. Consequently, when this energy stagnates or becomes blocked, it can lead to pain, discomfort, and disease. Therefore, therapies like acupuncture aim to stimulate specific points along these meridians to restore the harmonious flow of energy. Recognizing Vital Forces and the Body’s Innate Wisdom Beyond energy flow, traditional systems frequently acknowledge inherent vital forces that govern bodily functions and the body’s innate capacity for self-healing. This concept recognizes the body’s intelligence and its continuous efforts to maintain equilibrium. Treatments like Hijama (cupping), for example,
