Does Wet Hijama hurt?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. The incisions are very superficial, often described as light scratches. Our practitioners are trained to be gentle and ensure your comfort throughout the session.

How much blood is removed?

A very small, insignificant amount of stagnant, toxic blood is removed. The goal is not to drain blood, but to stimulate the body’s healing and detoxification processes by removing impurities from just under the skin.

Will there be marks or scars?

The circular marks from the cups are temporary and typically fade within 3-10 days, depending on the level of stagnation. The scratches are superficial and do not leave permanent scars when proper after-care is followed.

Who should not get Wet Hijama?

Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as bleeding disorders, severe anemia, or those on blood-thinning medication, should consult with our specialist first. It is also not recommended for pregnant women. Full disclosure of your medical history is essential for your safety.

Wet Cupping (Hijama)

The authentic Sunnah method for detoxification and natural healing, performed by certified specialists.

A Powerful Tradition for Modern Ailments

Wet Cupping, or Hijama, is a cornerstone of traditional and prophetic medicine. This therapeutic practice involves creating suction on the skin and then making tiny, superficial incisions to draw out a small quantity of stagnant blood and toxins. It is a powerful method for purifying the body, stimulating the immune system, and promoting the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
