Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe?
Some may worry about the safety of Hijama, but rest assured, we follow strict sterilization protocols, use single-use equipment, and we’re professionally trained and certified in Hijama practices.

Is it painful?
The thought of incisions might be intimidating, but don’t worry—it's only minimal discomfort, often less than that experienced during a routine blood test. The sensation is typically described as a light scratching.

Does it really work?
Some might not be sure about the efficacy of Hijama. Historically, it has been known for its effectiveness across civilizations such as the Islamic and the Chinese. Moreover, emerging scientific research supports the practice.

Are there any side effects?
Any potential bruising, marks, or skin changes are temporary and part of the body’s natural healing process, so there’s nothing to worry about.

Is Hijama exclusive for Muslims?
There might be misconceptions that Hijama is exclusively a religious or cultural practice. While it holds a significant place in Islamic tradition, its role as a therapeutic health practice is beneficial to all, regardless of religious or cultural background.

Do you work with women?
We don’t work with women directly. For the comfort and preference of our female clients, we refer them to trusted female practitioners.

Does it take too long?
Some may think the process is time-consuming. However, the duration of a typical session is just about 45 minutes, and the recommended frequency is monthly to yearly.

"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.”

“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.”

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.
