Hijama Therapy – A Sunnah Cure
Hijama, also known as cupping therapy, is an ancient healing method rooted in Islamic tradition. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, which draws out harmful toxins from the body and stimulates natural healing.
- This practice is endorsed in the Sunnah
- Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) highly recommending it for various ailments
- Hijama is considered a natural and holistic approach to promoting physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
There are different types of Hijama therapy
Dry Cupping
This involves suction only, without making any incisions on the skin. It’s used to stimulate blood flow and relieve muscle tension.
Wet Cupping
This is the most common form of Hijama, where small incisions are made on the skin after suction, allowing impure blood to be removed.
Moving Cupping
This involves applying oil to the skin, then moving the cup across the body to massage and stimulate blood flow in specific areas.
Fire Cupping
This ancient technique uses heat to create suction in the cups, helping to treat deep muscle tension and improve circulation.

Is Hijama Effective for Everyone?
While Hijama is highly beneficial for many, it may not be suitable for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, such as hemophilia, anemia, or those on blood-thinning medications, should consult with a qualified professional before undergoing Hijama. Pregnant women, individuals with severe skin conditions, or those with compromised immune systems should also seek medical advice before trying Hijama.
How Often Should Hijama Be Done?
The frequency of Hijama treatments depends on the individual’s health needs. For general well-being, it is recommended to have Hijama done every few months. However, those with chronic conditions or specific health concerns may benefit from more regular sessions. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised that Hijama be performed during certain days of the Islamic lunar calendar for maximum benefit.
What to Expect During a Hijama Session
During a Hijama session, the therapist will first assess your condition and determine the appropriate areas for cupping. Cups are placed on these areas to create suction, and depending on the type of Hijama, small incisions may be made to allow the release of impure blood. The procedure is typically painless, with only slight discomfort during the incision process. The entire session usually lasts around 30-45 minutes.
