Hijama is an ancient form of medical treatment in which a partial vacuum is created in cups on the surface of the body and small scratches or pin pricks are made onto the skin under the cups.

This combination of cupping therapy and controlled bloodletting has been utilized for over 3000 years and was a practice the prophet Muhammad(PBUH) promoted and recommended as an inspiration from God.
The practice of wet cupping was also an integral part of more recent medical practice as it developed in the Middle East and was used up until the 1800’s even here in the UK. It has been believed to have multiple therapeutic effects and is proving in modern times as an effective aid in assisting many medical conditions.
Although a simplified explanation wet cupping can be likened to a mechanical form of leaching allowing small quantities of blood to be released from swollen and painful areas of the body, to give relief, promote healing and to regain function and balance within the body.
