What is Hijama?

is  an  Islamic,  spiritual,  religious  practice  using  natural  methods  for  detox  and  cleansing  through  the  extraction  of  toxic  blood.  It  was  divinely  revealed  by  God  (Allah,  The  Exalted,  The  Almighty)  and  ordained  by  the  Angels  to  Prophet  Mohammad   (Peace  Be  Upon  Him).  It  is  a  Prophetic  Medicine  and  a  Sunnah  (practiced  by  Prophet   Mohammad  (PBUH)).  It  is  part  of  Traditional  Islamic  Medicine  and  has  been  practiced  globally  for  centuries.

Our Hijama Process

BEFORE YOUR HIJAMA TREATMENT

  • Please have a shower before your treatment and wear fresh clothes to reduce the risk of any infections
  • Fast 3 hours before your hijama treatment however, make sure you are not fasting from the day before. You can drink a bit of water if you’re thirsty.
  • Hydrate plenty in the day leading up to your hijama treatment – water is the best drink for hydration.
  • For MEN: the areas to be cupped should be hair free or at least shaved down to level 1

AFTER YOUR HIJAMA TREATMENT

  • Please avoid showering for 4 hours and avoid strenuous activity that will make you sweat. We want to make sure the small cuts have healed completely to reduce the risk of infection.
  • Avoid red meat on the day you do the Hijama treatment, but you can have chicken, fish, fruits, vegetables and drink plenty of water.
  • You can throw away your cupping box and get a new one each time you come in. A new cupping set costs $25. If you want to reuse the cups, remember your cupping kit is for you only and no one else. Please clean your cupping kit immediately after treatment. First, wash with warm water and soap. Next, sterilise your cups with Dettol or Methylated Spirits. Dry your cups with a clean paper towel and return to the box.
  • The following day feel free to apply black seed oil or olive oil or moisturiser to encourage healing of the skin.
  • Do not rub or scratch the areas cupped.

PRECAUTIONS

If you are taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, warfarin, etc, you cannot perform Hijama as your cuts will take longer to close therefore increasing your risk of infection. You will need to speak to your Doctor to advise how long you will need to stop taking the blood thinners and to provide you with a clearance letter confirming it’s safe for you to perform Hijama.

Some hadith on Hijama

In Hijama Cupping there is a Cure

 

The Prophet (PBUH) also said:

“If there is anything good in the medicines with which you treat yourselves, it is in the incision of the Hijama therapist, or a drink of honey or cauterization with fire, but I do not like to be cauterized.”

[Sahih Muslim, Hadith No: 2205]

 

Jaabir ibn Abdullah y reported that the Messenger (PBUH) said,

“Indeed in cupping (hijama) there is a cure.”

[Saheeh Muslim hadith No: 5706].

 

Best Days for Hijama

 

Abu Hurairah(r.a) reported that the Messenger (PBUH) said,

“Whoever performs cupping (hijama) on the 17th, 19th or 21st day (of the Islamic, lunar month) then it is a cure for every disease.”

[Sunan Abu Dawud Hadith No: 3861].

 

Isra Mi’raj – The Angels Recommended Hijama - Cupping

 

Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger (SAWS) said,

“I did not pass by an angel from the angels on the night journey except that they all said to me: Upon you is cupping (hijama), O Muhammad.”

[Sunan-Ibn-Maajah Hadith No:3477].

 

In the narration reported by Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (may Allaah be pleased with him) the angels said,

“Oh Muhammad, order your Ummah (nation) with cupping (hijama).”

[At-Tirmidhi].

 

The Prophet (PBUH) said,

"Jibrail (AS) repeatedly emphasized upon me to resort to cupping to the extent that I feared that cupping will be made compulsory.”
