Explore Hijama

An ancient remedy for modern wellness

Our Process

number 1

Please ensure you are well-hydrated and refrain from consuming heavy meals before your session.

number 2

Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your health concerns and goals. The session, lasting approximately 45 minutes, involves strategically placing cups at specific points on your body to create suction and stimulate blood flow.

number 3

In some cases, we may use moving cupping to stimulate the release of stagnant blood and fluids within the tissue. Following this, small incisions are made to draw out blood from the tissue. It's important to note that the blood drawn is not directly from the veins but rather from the tissue.

number 4

Two methods are employed: traditional blade incisions and a lancing pen. The choice of method depends on your preference and specific needs.

number 5

After the procedure, patients often report feeling lighter and experiencing reduced muscular pressure. Following a Hijama session, it is crucial to stay hydrated, avoid strenuous activity for a short period, and adhere to any personalized aftercare advice provided. Ensure the treated area remains clean, and avoid direct exposure to extremely hot or cold temperatures.

Patient safety is our top priority. All equipment is thoroughly sterilized, and single-use blades or pins are employed to maintain hygiene. Each cup is individually wrapped and disposed of after use. The procedure is conducted in a clean, controlled environment, adhering to all health and safety guidelines.

Hijama is generally a minimally discomforting procedure. Most patients find it relaxing, with some even falling asleep. The incisions typically do not leave scars and usually heal within a couple of days.

Reviews

"I've been seeing AbdurRaheem for a while now. I suffered from chronic lower back axial issues. Alhamdulillah [thank God], after the first session, I got immediate relief: the prompting of blood flow reduced my inflammation, and the pain has diminished with every session.I continue to see Brother AbdurRaheem for Hijama for both physical and spiritual benefits, as it was 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.'"

“I wasn't having any particular health issues that made me go get hijama. Just went for overall health.Imam did a great job; the massage was excellent, Quran playing in the background was very relaxing. He explained everything he was doing as he did it, using the acupuncture needles was much better for me than when I've had hijama in the past, where they used razors to make small cuts. This way was painless and quick.I would recommend Imam and have been recommending him to people and will continue to, insha’allah.I would use the words professional and relaxing to describe the experience.”

“My journey with Hijama has been amazing. I was given 3 sessions, which at first was weird but helpful.What it did for me was the clogging of old blood from my current injuries was able to be drawn out, and new blood could flow better, for better recovery and repair.The most significant benefit was my ability to heal and return to the gym after 6 years.I would definitely recommend Hijama to anyone with longtime injuries, as this treatment will help heal quicker.”
–– James
“My knees were painful while walking or running. After the Hijama treatment, Alhamdulillah, the pain has gone away. My knees feel much better. The treatment was done in a nice and calm environment. The brother was very nice, humble, and accommodating. Well, so far, I haven't had any pain in my knees. While I was expecting some improvement, I wasn't really expecting results quite like this. Yes, absolutely would recommend Hijama to others. Personally, I can see the difference after Hijama, and also, the service provided by the brother is top-notch! The Hijama service provided was really great and professional. The results of Hijama have been amazing!”

“Would highly recommend; had lower back pain and really felt some tension taken away from the affected area after the service. Would recommend to anyone to try this service as it’s very relaxing and good for the body.”
–– Mahmoud
Thank you for yesterday. The pain around my shoulder is much, much better—95% improvement. I slept better for the first time in a year. I think I will come in for a follow-up with a focus on the tendon. It is the original issue from many years ago and may need another go. It is still 75% more range already.
