Answer: Hijama is the process of using vacuum pressured cups to pull stagnant and toxic blood to the surface of the body and releasing this blood with superficial cuts to the skin’s surface.
Answer: Yes, hijama has been used as a main form of treatment in the East for thousands of years. It could not have continued for so long if it did not work.
Answer: No, hijama does not hurt. The sensation felt during cupping is often described as a sharp scratch around the area where it’s done. Many report feeling relaxed or invigorated during and after the cupping treatment. Cupping is not a painful or unpleasant experience.
Answer: 30-45 minutes on average.
Answer: While generally safe, temporary bruising or mild discomfort may occur. Our clinic prioritizes hygiene to ensure a comfortable and safe experience.
Answer: When practiced in a clean and hygienic environment under the guidance of a qualified health professional, both cupping and wet cupping are safe and relatively risk-free. Our practitioners are well experienced in Hijama, adhere to a strict code of practice, and prioritize clinic hygiene. We conduct screenings of medical history, vital signs, and use sterile, disposable materials for each patient.
Answer: Some do it monthly as preventative medicine on specific days, while others choose intervals like every 3, 6, or 12 months. It depends on individual preferences and health needs.
Answer: Yes, both regular and wet cupping can leave bruise-like marks on the skin that fade over approximately two weeks. In wet cupping, pin marks or scratches may accompany the bruising, fading within a similar time frame depending on individual skin type.
Answer: Listen to your body; rest if you feel tired. Avoid activities that increase adrenaline flow for a day or two. Walking and daily routines are fine, but prioritize rest when possible.
Answer: Very few people do. Fainting may occur due to a response to seeing blood, and feeling sick is rare. Understand that Hijama is a fast detoxification method, and any potential discomfort is not dangerous or classified as a side effect.
