HIJAMA (WET CUPPING THERAPY)
Hijama is more than a treatment. For Muslims, it is a Sunnah of our beloved Prophet ﷺ and a practice that has been used for centuries.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“The best treatment you have is Hijama (cupping).”
(Sahih al-Bukhari 5696)
He ﷺ also said:
“Indeed, the best of remedies you have is Hijama.”
(Sahih Muslim 2205)
The Prophet ﷺ regularly underwent Hijama and encouraged its use, particularly at appropriate times and for specific ailments.
What does modern research say?
Recent medical studies suggest that wet cupping therapy may help some people with:
• Chronic neck and lower back pain
• Muscle tightness and sports recovery
• Tension headaches and some migraines
• Knee pain caused by osteoarthritis
• Improving local blood circulation
• Reducing muscle soreness after exercise
Researchers believe these effects may be related to improved microcirculation, stimulation of the nervous system, release of natural pain-relieving chemicals, and changes in local inflammatory responses.
However, Hijama should be seen as a complementary therapy rather than a replacement for medical care. More high-quality research is still needed for many conditions.
At Revive Hijama & Wellness, every session is carried out using:
✔ Sterile, single-use equipment
✔ Professional hygiene standards
✔ Individualised treatment based on your needs
✔ A calm and comfortable environment
