Hijama Explained

Hijama is a type of cupping therapy that provides you with a natural alternative to medical treatment. This ancient practice uses special cups to apply gentle suction on certain points of your body. As a result, it helps to remove stagnant blood, toxins (harmful substances), and inflammatory agents from your body tissues, restoring their hygienic appearance. 

Hijama is a holistic treatment that benefits your mind and body. It’s like giving a refreshing boost to your physical being. Some of its benefits include: 

  • Pain relief 
  • Increased mobility and flexibility 
  • Naturally glowing skin
  • Stress reduction 
  • Better sleep quality 
  • Improved blood circulation and lymphatic drainage 
  • Detoxification 
  • Increased energy 
  • Positive mindset 
  • Increase focus and concentration 

There are different types of hijama treatments we offer, so choose the one that’s just right for your needs and budget: 

TypesDescriptionIdeal forBenefits
Dry CuppingSimple, non-invasive technique without cutting or bleedingMuscle tension, aches, and painsRelieves muscle tension, improves circulation, and reduces pain
Wet Cupping Deeper procedure with small incisions to remove stagnant blood and toxinsChronic issues and deep detoxRemoves toxins, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing
Massage Cupping Combination of cupping and massage techniquesMuscle aches, knots, and stiffnessRelaxes muscles, improves circulation, and reduces pain
Fire CuppingQuick heat is applied inside the cup to create strong vacuum suctionTenacious pain, knots, and stiffnessReleases intense muscles, reduces pain and improves circulation

Dry cupping is a simple method where the cups are placed over your skin without cutting or bleeding. It is ideal for individuals suffering from muscle tension, aches, and pans and looking for a non-invasive technique. 

Small incisions are made on your skin in wet cupping to remove stagnant blood and toxins before applying cups. It’s a bit deeper procedure than a dry one and is often recommended for chronic issues or when you need a deep detox.

It includes combining the cupping with massage techniques. As the therapist massages you, the cups glide over your skin parallelly, creating suction. It’s best for individuals with muscle aches. 

As the name depicts, fire cupping doesn’t involve the actual fire. A quick heat is applied inside the cup before it’s placed over your skin to create a strong vacuum suction. This therapy treats the tenacious pain, knots, and stiffness and releases the intense muscles.

We also offer combination packages where the cupping is paired with other services like acupuncture, massage, and aromatherapy. In one session, you can benefit from multiple therapeutic aspects.

I did Hijama (wet cupping) with Dr Ebtisam Kotkat. I was initially nervous about the treatment, however once I started I could feel the difference. She also gave me an amazing massage and got rid of the knots in my neck. After the treatment, I felt like a new person - refreshed and totally relaxed. I would highly recommend a treatment with Dr Kotkat.
