You’re not supposed to eat three times a day. That idea was sold to you. Packaged and pushed through school systems and adverts. But deep down, even your body knows something is off.

Your body wasn’t built to be digesting all day. Digestion is heavy work. Every time you eat, your body stops everything, including healing, detoxing, and resetting, to focus on breaking down that food. And if you’re eating all the time, your system is always busy. You’re literally working your stomach like a government employee on shift, no breaks, no peace.

Your gut and brain are connected. I’m not being motivational, this is biology. There's a nerve, the vagus nerve that connects your brain to your stomach. So if your gut is constantly inflamed from junk food, sugar, and unnecessary eating, it sends weak, noisy signals to your brain. That’s why you struggle to focus, overthink, feel drained, or make decisions like a confused..... It’s not spiritual warfare. It’s your belly rebelling.

Fasting, even once or twice a week,changes everything. When you fast, your body taps into a process called autophagy. That’s when it stops digesting and starts repairing. Cleaning up dead cells. Boosting brain function. Your mental clarity goes up. Your energy gets lighter. You’re not just alive you're operating with focus and peace.

Fasting can raise your testosterone levels. Your body balances hormones better. You feel stronger, calmer, even s*xually healthier. Things like erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and mood swings are often caused by imbalances that come from bad eating habits and zero rest for your gut.

Ever watched those war movies, where the hero is in battle for hours or even days, and you never see him eat? Maybe he drinks water, maybe he eats once. But he’s focused, sharp, and unstoppable. You think Hollywood is just being dramatic, but maybe that scene is trying to send a message. That man is moving with purpose, not sandwiches. But we don’t want to question anything. We just keep eating like we’re scared of being empty.

You don’t need five meals. You need discipline, hydration, and a clear connection between your gut and brain. That’s where your real power is. Your spirit wakes up. Your body stops fighting you. Your mind sharpens. You begin to feel aligned.

This post isn’t for the we will all die,This is for people who want to start living like focused warriors.

RULLING ON MA********ON IN ISLAM AND METHODS FOR CURING IT

Praise be to Allaah.

Ma********on (for both men and women) is haraam (forbidden) in Islam based on the following evidence:

First from the Qur’aan:

Imam Shafi’i stated that ma********on is forbidden based on the following verses from the Qur’aan (interpretation of the meaning):
"And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal s*xual acts). Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, - for them, they are free from blame. But whoever seeks beyond that,then those are the transgressors." 23.5-7
Here the verses are clear in forbidding all illegal s*xual acts (including ma********on) except for the wives or that their right hand possess. And whoever seeks beyond that is the transgressor.

"And let those who find not the financial means for marriage keep themselves chaste, until Allah enriches them of His bounty." 24.33.
This verse also clearly orders whoever does not have the financial means to marry to keep himself chaste and be patient in facing temptations (including ma********on) until Allah enriches them of His bounty.

Secondly, from the sunnah ofthe Prophet (peace be upon him):
Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood said,"We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth whatsoever.
So Allaah’s Messenger said,"O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty (i.e. his private parts from committing illegal s*xual in*******se etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his s*xual power." Bukhari:5066.
The hadeeth orders men who are not able to marry to fast despite the hardship encountered in doing so, and not to ma******te despite the ease with which it can be done.

METHODS FOR CURING IT

As for curing the habit of ma********on, we recommend the following suggestions:

1) The motive to seek a cure for this problem should be solely following Allaah’s orders and fearing His punishment.

2) A permanent and quick cure from this problem lies in marriage as soon as the person is able, as shown in the Prophet’s hadeeth.

3) Keeping oneself busy with what is good for this world and the hereafter is essential in breaking this habit before it becomes second nature after which it is very difficult to rid oneself of it.

4) Lowering the gaze (from looking at forbidden things such as pictures, movies etc.) will help suppress the desire before it leads one to commit the haraam (forbidden).
Allaah orders men and women to lower their gaze as shown in the following two verses (interpretations of the meanings):
"Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things) and protect their private parts (from illegal s*xual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allah is all-aware of what they do.
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things) and protect their private parts (from illegal s*xual acts, etc.) ..... " 24.30-31

5) Using one’s available leisure time in worshipping Allaah and increasing religious knowledge.

6) Being cautious not to develop any of the medical symptoms that may result from ma********on such as weak eyesight, weak nervous system, and/or back pain. More importantly, feeling of guilt and anxiety that can be complicated by missing obligatory prayers because of the need to shower (ghusl) after every incidence of ma********on.

7) Avoiding the illusion that some youth have that ma********on is permissible because it prevents them from committing illegal s*xual acts such as fornication or even homos*xuality.

8) Strengthening one’s will power and avoiding spending time alone as recommended by the Prophet when he said "Do not spend the night alone" Ahmad 6919.

9) Following the Prophet’s a forementioned hadeeth and fast when possible, because fasting will temper one’s s*xual desire and keep it under control.
Note that medication to diminish one’s s*xual desire is strictly prohibited because it might permanently affect one’s s*xual ability.

10) Trying to follow the Prophet’s recommendation concerning the etiquette of getting ready for bed, such as reading well-known supplications, sleeping on the right side, and avoiding sleeping on the belly (the Prophet forbade sleeping on the belly).

11) Striving hard to be patient and chaste, because persistence will eventually, Allaah willing, lead to attaining those qualities as second nature.

12) Repenting, asking forgiveness from Allaah, doing good deeds, and not losing hope and feeling despair are all prerequisites to curing this problem.

13) Finally, Allaah is the Most Merciful and He always responds to whoever calls on Him. So, asking for Allah’s forgiveness, it will be accepted, by His will.

HOW TO BALANCE HORMONES NATURALLY:

🌿 1. Support Blood Sugar Stability
Hormonal chaos often begins with blood sugar spikes and crashes.

Eat protein and fat at every meal to slow glucose absorption.
Avoid refined carbs and sugars (including fruit juices).
Prioritize low-glycemic foods like non-starchy veggies, berries, and whole foods.
Try intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating if appropriate for your health.
Include chromium, magnesium, cinnamon, and alpha-lipoic acid for blood sugar support.
🌿 2. Nourish Your Gut Microbiome
The gut directly affects estrogen, cortisol, and thyroid hormone balance.

Eat fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir) or take a quality probiotic.
Include prebiotic fiber: onions, garlic, leeks, asparagus, green bananas.
Test for and address SIBO, Candida, parasites, and leaky gut.
Support bile flow for hormone clearance with beets, bitter greens, dandelion tea.
🌿 3. Support Liver Detoxification
The liver metabolizes excess hormones (especially estrogen).

Eat cruciferous vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, kale (lightly steamed).
Try DIM (diindolylmethane) or calcium d-glucarate for estrogen detox.
Drink lemon water, dandelion tea, and milk thistle to support liver function.
Avoid alcohol, plastics, pesticides, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (see below).
🌿 4. Balance Cortisol & Stress Hormones
Chronic stress causes cortisol dysregulation and disrupts other hormones.

Prioritize 8–9 hours of quality sleep (in total darkness, no blue light).
Practice daily stress relief: deep breathing, nature, prayer, journaling.
Use adaptogens like ashwagandha, rhodiola, holy basil, or licorice root.
Avoid overexercising — try restorative movement like yoga, walking, and Pilates.
🌿 5. Heal Your Circadian Rhythm
Hormones like cortisol, melatonin, and insulin follow a daily rhythm.

Get early morning sunlight on your skin and eyes within 30–60 minutes of waking.
Avoid blue light at night (use blue-blocking glasses or red lights).
Sleep and wake at consistent times daily.
Eat meals on a regular schedule to sync metabolism and hormone release.
🌿 6. Eliminate Endocrine Disruptors
These mimic or block hormones and are often overlooked.

Avoid plastics: Use glass/stainless containers and avoid microwaving plastic.
Use natural personal care products (free from parabens, phthalates, fragrances).
Choose organic food to avoid pesticides like glyphosate.
Use non-toxic cleaning products (vinegar, baking soda, essential oils).
Filter your tap water to reduce heavy metals, fluoride, and pharmaceuticals.
🌿 7. Support Key Nutrients for Hormones
Many hormones rely on adequate minerals and vitamins to function.

Magnesium (glycinate, malate, or threonate) for adrenal and thyroid health.
Zinc for fertility and testosterone.
B vitamins (especially B6, B9, B12) for neurotransmitter and estrogen metabolism.
Iodine, selenium, and tyrosine for thyroid hormone synthesis.
Omega-3s (wild fish, flax, chia, or fish oil) for inflammation and brain hormones.
🌿 8. Menstrual & Reproductive Hormone Tips
Specifically for women balancing estrogen, progesterone, and more:

Seed cycling: Flax/pumpkin seeds (follicular phase); sesame/sunflower (luteal).
Vitex (chasteberry) supports progesterone and regular ovulation.
Castor oil packs over the uterus or liver can support detox and hormone flow.
Track your cycle using an app or basal body temp to spot patterns or imbalances.
🌿 9. Thyroid & Metabolism Support
Often part of the hormone puzzle.

Avoid raw goitrogens (like raw kale) if you have hypothyroidism.
Ensure iodine + selenium balance; Brazil nuts are a great selenium source.
Check for autoimmune triggers like gluten, dairy, and chronic infections.
Manage iron, cortisol, and vitamin D to optimize thyroid function.
🌿 10. Test, Don’t Guess
If symptoms persist, functional testing can reveal the full picture.

DUTCH test (urine) for cortisol and s*x hormones.
Saliva or blood for cortisol rhythm and DHEA.
GI Map for gut imbalances or stealth infections.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to check for mineral imbalances and toxicity.
🧠 Bonus: Emotional & Energetic Support
Hormones don’t exist in a vacuum — your thoughts, trauma, and beliefs matter.

Address stored trauma using somatic therapy, EMDR, breathwork, or tapping (EFT).
Set healthy boundaries to reduce cortisol from toxic relationships.
Nurture pleasure, creativity, and purpose — all fuel for hormonal flow.

Chronic stress doesn’t just affect your mind — it triggers real physical symptoms.

Kindness toward yourself isn't just good for your mental health. It directly affects your physical well-being, and whether there's long-term damage.

Chronic stress and anxiety can manifest in the body in troubling ways, leading to symptoms like heart palpitations, headaches, digestive issues, insomnia, and even skin breakouts.

These are more than just discomforts; they’re signals from your body that something’s out of balance.

When you're overwhelmed, it's okay to pause.

Taking time to relax—whether through deep breathing, a short walk, or simply saying no—helps reset your nervous system and lowers stress hormones. By practicing self-compassion and prioritizing rest, you’re not just nurturing your mind—you’re giving your body the care it needs to stay healthy and resilient.

YOUR GUT IS THE GATEKEEPER- FIX YOUR STOMACH, FIX YOUR HORMONES, FIX YOUR LIFE.

LET ME BREAK IT DOWN

Your gut (stomach + intestines) is not just a food pipe. It is the command center (the part of your body that controls many activities) for your:

1. Hormones (chemical messengers that control how your body works)

2. Immunity (your body’s defense system against sickness)

3. Mood (how you feel emotionally)

4. Digestion (how your body breaks down food)

5. Skin

6. Fertility

7. Energy

When it is weak, inflamed (swollen and irritated), or toxic (filled with harmful substances), everything else becomes noisy. Your gut is not a dustbin; it is the gatekeeper (the protector and filter) of your health.

Signs Your Gut is Screaming for Help:

1. Bloating after meals (tight or swollen stomach)

2. Constipation (no daily p**p)

3. Gas, burping, or tummy noise

4. Ulcer pains or acid reflux (burning chest or sour taste from the stomach)

5. Loose stool or frequent running stomach

6. White coating on the tongue

7. Bad breath despite brushing

8. Constant tiredness

9. Skin rashes or acne (spots or bumps on the face or body)

1. Irregular period or low libido (low s*xual desire)

Your gut is like a kitchen + toilet. If your kitchen is always dirty and your toilet is clogged (blocked), will your house smell right? No. And neither will your body.

What Destroys the Gut?

1. sugar (soft drinks, tea, cereals)

2. seasoning cubes, Sachet spices, and processed oil( anything vegetable, seed oil, RUNNNNN)

3. Cold food and drinks

4. Eating late at night

5. Starving or skipping meals(the wrong way)

6. Alcohol, smoking, and stress

7. Antibiotics (drugs that fight infection but can harm good bacteria if not restored)

Foods & Herbs That Heal the Gut

Natural Gut Repairers:

1. Okra water

2. Unripe plantain

3. Carrot Cucumber infused water

4. Ginger and scent leaf tea

5. tiger nut

6. Coconut water

7. Bone broth (goat head pepper soup with real spices)

8. Lemon water (warm)

Supplements/Natural Helpers:

1. DGL (Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice) :soothes ulcer (a natural herb that coats the stomach and helps healing)

2. Probiotics : restores good bacteria (live good bacteria that help digestion and fight infection)

3. Slippery elm, aloe vera gel, activated charcoal (herbs that calm, clean, and protect the stomach)

4. Chamomile tea: calms gut and stress (a flower tea that relaxes the body and stomach

Gut & Hormone link: Your gut is the supply manager (organizer of what goes where) of your body. If the manager is confused, weak, or blocked, the entire factory (your hormones, skin, womb, energy, mind,brain) starts to malfunction (work the wrong way).

That is why gut problems can cause:

1. Hormone imbalance (too much or too little hormones)

2. Fertility delay

3. Poor s*x drive

4. Stubborn belly fat

5.Depression and tiredness

7. Forgetfulness

Daily Gut Healing Habits:

1. Warm water every morning before meals

2. Avoid cold foods and sugary drinks

3. Eat local, fresh and fibre-rich foods (foods that help you p**p well)

4. Use scent leaf, ginger, turmeric, okra water

5. Chew slowly. Don’t rush meals

7. Gentle fasting (12–16 hours without food to let the gut rest)

8. Don’t eat when you are angry or anxious (restless or afraid)

9. Do light walks after eating

For Men: That your pot belly that feels hard like tyre? It may be gut overload. If your p**p smells bad, your urine is hot, or you feel sleepy and weak after meals, your gut needs help.

Gut inflammation in men can cause:
1. Weak libido

2. Low testosterone (male hormone that controls manhood)

3. Prostate pressure (swelling or stress on the male gland under the bladder)

4. Constant tiredness

5. Anger and mood swings

Start healing with tiger nut, scent leaf, okra, garlic, warm water, local pap(without shifting), fermented foods (foods left to grow good bacteria like ogiri, iru, or Yoghurt

Children & Teens Gut Awareness : Your child’s stomach pain, constant worm treatment, or moodiness may be from poor gut health too.

Let their pap ferment properly. Avoid sugary snacks . Give cucumber, ginger, or scent leaf water sometimes.

Teach them to drink warm water in the morning and chew their food well. Early gut care prevents adult sickness.

Gentle 3 Day Gut Reset Plan

Day 1:

Morning: Warm lemon water

Afternoon: Unripe plantain + scent leaf stew + small portion of beans or fish (protein)

Evening: Light okra soup with goat meat or eggs + ginger tea

Day 2:

Morning: Carrot + cucumber juice

Afternoon: Small portion of yam + fish sauce (no seasoning cubes, more protein)

Evening: Bone broth (pepper soup with organ meat) + turmeric tea

Day 3:

Morning: Scent leaf tea + coconut water

Afternoon: Half cup of rice + garden egg sauce with boiled egg or grilled chicken

Evening: Small oat swallow + okra soup + fish or snail

Carbs should be small, protein should be rich and healing and healthy fat moderate

Drink warm water 30 mins before meals or 1 hour after. Rest, walk, and avoid sugar throughout.

- Mini Gut Health Self-Check

Tick what applies to you:

1. I p**p daily and it’s smooth

2. I rarely feel bloated or gassy

3. My mouth doesn’t smell after brushing

4. My skin is clear, not patchy

5. I eat fermented foods regularly

6. I avoid cold drinks and late-night food

7. I feel light and energetic after meals

If you didn’t tick at least 5, your gut may need healing.

-Share Your Testimony

Have you tried any of these: okra water, scent leaf tea, fermented pap, or tiger nut milk? What changed for you? Share your healing story. Someone else is waiting to learn and heal from your journey.

REMEMBER: God created food before creating man. Healing often begins on your plate. As Jesus healed the blind with mud (John 9:6), your gut may need natural clay-like herbs, living food, and peace.

Eat with peace. Fast with purpose. Detox with wisdom. Trust God through the process

Healing Declarations:( DECLARE NOW!)

1. "My belly is blessed. My gut is healed. My digestion is divine."

🧬 The Intracellular Alkalinity Paradox in Cancer

When discussing pH and health, we often hear that “alkalizing the body” is good — and in many ways, that’s true. But in the context of cancer biology, there’s a critical paradox that changes everything:

Healthy cells require slightly alkaline interiors to function properly.
But cancer cells deliberately make their interiors even more alkaline than normal — while acidifying their surroundings — to fuel growth, resist death, and thrive in a sick terrain.
So:

Alkalinity promotes health in normal cells, supporting detox, energy, and repair.
But cancer cells use intracellular alkalinity as a weapon — part of how they hijack normal processes and survive in a toxic, acidic environment.
This dual role of alkalinity — healing in one case, harmful in another — is the paradox.

📊 Comparing Healthy vs. Cancer Cells by pH

🔹 1. Intracellular pH (inside the cell)
Healthy Cell: Around 7.0 to 7.2 (slightly alkaline)
Cancer Cell: Around 7.4 to 7.6 (more alkaline than normal)
🔹 2. Extracellular pH (outside the cell / surrounding environment)
Healthy Cell: Around 7.35 to 7.45 (slightly alkaline)
Cancer Cell: Around 6.5 to 6.8 (acidic tumor microenvironment)
🔹 3. pH Gradient (difference between inside and outside)
Healthy Cell: Normal polarity — inside slightly more acidic than outside
Cancer Cell: Reversed polarity — inside more alkaline, outside acidic
🔹 4. Metabolism Type
Healthy Cell: Uses oxygen-based energy (mitochondrial oxidative metabolism)
Cancer Cell: Uses sugar fermentation (glycolysis), even when oxygen is present — known as the Warburg effect
🔹 5. Effect of Alkalinity
Healthy Cell: Supports detoxification, DNA repair, and programmed cell death (apoptosis)
Cancer Cell: Helps the cell avoid apoptosis and encourages uncontrolled growth
🔹 6. Effect of Acidity
Healthy Cell: Helps clear pathogens, remove waste, and maintain balance
Cancer Cell: Fuels invasion into tissues, helps it avoid the immune system, and promotes destruction of nearby cells

⚙️ How Cancer Reverses the pH Gradient

Cancer cells use ion pumps and metabolic shifts to flip the normal pH polarity:

🔹 1. Proton Pumps Export Acid
Cancer cells use Na⁺/H⁺ exchangers and proton pumps to push hydrogen ions (H⁺) out of the cell.
This keeps their interior alkaline and surroundings acidic.
🔹 2. Acidic Microenvironment Fuels Cancer
Acid outside:
Destroys healthy tissues
Blocks immune response
Activates enzymes (like metalloproteinases) that help cancer spread
Makes therapies (like chemo) less effective
🔹 3. Intracellular Alkalinity Prevents Apoptosis
Healthy cells self-destruct when damaged.
Cancer cells survive by disabling this mechanism — one way they do it is by keeping their interiors too alkaline to trigger the apoptosis process.
🔹 4. Glycolysis Creates Acidity
Cancer cells favor anaerobic glycolysis (fermenting glucose to lactic acid) — even in the presence of oxygen (called the Warburg effect).
This generates acid as waste, which they pump out, acidifying the surrounding tissue.
⚠️ Why Blanket "Alkalizing" May Backfire

This paradox means that overly simplistic "alkaline everything" approaches could:

Support healthy cells, which is good
But also stabilize the cancer cells’ intracellular pH, helping them avoid apoptosis
That’s why intelligent, terrain-based strategies are needed — ones that:

Support healthy intracellular alkalinity in normal cells
But selectively disrupt the alkalinity inside cancer cells
And neutralize the acidic, inflammatory tumor microenvironment
✅ Healing Strategy: Reverse the pH Polarity

The goal of terrain therapy is not just “alkalize the body,” but to restore the correct pH polarity:

📌 What You Want:
✅ Healthy cells: Slightly alkaline interior, alkaline surroundings
✅ Cancer terrain: Neutralized exterior (less acidic), destabilized interior (slightly more acidic)
🔄 How to Do It:
Strategy Targeted Effect
Mitochondrial support Supports healthy cell energy and pH balance
Mineral intake (Mg, K, Ca) Buffers acids, supports cell voltage and repair
Oxygenation therapies Reduce lactic acidosis, restore oxidative metabolism
Lymphatic drainage & hydration Clears extracellular acids and debris
Fasting + ketogenic diet Starves cancer of glucose, lowers glycolysis
Quercetin, curcumin, sulforaphane Inhibit proton pumps in cancer cells
Magnesium bicarbonate water Buffers acids intracellularly in healthy cells
Proton pump inhibitors (careful use) Can acidify cancer interiors
🧠 Bonus: How You Feel When Intracellular pH Is Restored

When your healthy cells have the right internal alkalinity, you may notice:

✅ Better energy (ATP production)
✅ Less inflammation
✅ Improved detoxification
✅ Sharper cognition
✅ Slower aging
✅ Lower risk of chronic disease and cancer
💡 Advanced Insights

Cancer cells are smart: They evolve mechanisms to maintain their reversed pH gradient, even under stress.
Healthy cells are resilient: They can bounce back if given the right tools (minerals, oxygen, redox balance).
You don’t want to nuke everything with alkaline water — you want precision: mineral-rich, mitochondrial-supportive, terrain-focused alkalization.

There are two types of diabetes.

And understanding the difference might save someone's life.

Let's break it down:

Type 1 Diabetes

The body cannot produce insulin.

It's not lifestyle-related. It's autoimmune.

The pancreas is not working.

It often shows up in childhood or adolescence.

People with type 1 need insulin every day to survive. It's not optional.

One of the most dangerous signs is diabetic ketoacidosis a medical emergency.

They didn't cause it. They're just managing the reality.

Type 2 Diabetes

- The body still produces insulin, but the cells have stopped listening.

It's called insulin resistance.

It happens over time. Often silently.

Caused by too much sugar, too much processed foods, etc

POINTS MENTIONED IN HADITH.

Many practitioners consider these points as the holy grail of Hijamah and believe that these points are sufficient to cure ANY sickness.
They fail to understand that these points were recorded as and when the need arose for the application of Hijamah.

There are a total of 9 recorded points of the body where prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam had hijamah adminstered. These are considered to be the sunnah points of hijamah.

In gazawah khybre while our beloved prophet Muhammad s.a.w.sallam was poisoned, he took hijama at 3 point on the kahil, we feel that a cup was applied behind the heart ( at the left of kahil), & the third was either a little bit lower to this point or on the right side of the kahil, Allah knows the best.

Abdul Razzaq narrated that, “A jewish woman brought to prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam a roast that she had poisoned, while he was in khyber, our beloved prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam asked, what is this, she said, a gift, being careful not to say that it was from charity so that he would not eat it. Prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam and sahaba (his companions) ate from the sheep, then our prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam said,” stop eating”. He said to the woman
,’Did you poison this sheep?, she said,”who told you that”? He said , this bone, meaning the ewe’s leg that he had in his hand. She said, “Yes”. He said, “Why”? She said, I thought that if you were a liar, the people would be relieved from you. However, if you were a true prophet, it would not harm you. Prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam then used hijama (cupping ) thrice on the kahil (upper part of his back ) and commanded that his companions do the same. Yet, several of them died.”

Narrated by ibn majah, on the authority of Ali razi allaho anh that angel Jibreel advised prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam for hijama at Akhda’ain (posterior jugulars) and KAHIL (upper back ~between the shoulder).

Reported by abu kabsha al anmari raza allaho anh that prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam took hijama on Haamah & between the shoulder (which is KAHIL). Narrated by abu dawood & ibn~majah.

Reported by Abdullah bin bujainah razi allaho anh that prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam took hijama on the centre of his head (yafookh) and he was in Ehraam while his journey to Makkah (Name of the place where they stopped is mentioned as lahyi jamal)

“used hijamah (wet cupping) on the qamahduwah (above the nape cavity), for it cures seventy two kinds of ailments.”(Narrated by Tabraani)

Abu dawood narrated that jabir razi allaho anh said that prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam used hijama (wet cupping) on his hip because of a debilitation he suffered from.

Prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam also took hijamah on the hip & top of his foot, which explains that hijama at the painful area is also recommended by tibbenabavi.

Reported by Anas razi allaho anh that (while in Ehraam), prophet Muhammad Sallallahoo Alaihi Wa Sallam took hijama on the top of his foot due to the pain that area.
Narrated by Abu Dawood.

From the above ahadith several deductions can be made.
1) Hijamah is Sunnah.

2) Hijamah can be applied on any part of the body and is NOT specific to the points outlined above.

3) Hijamah can be performed at any time and does NOT require a specific date or time. ..if there is an illness it does not mean one should wait for the lunar dates to get treated.
