Healing is from AlLah, and we apply our knowledge and experience to provide the best Hijama towards your healing. Our story is very simple. Very similar to yours. In my late twenties I was diagnosed with high blood pressure (you can put almost any disease instead of high blood pressure) which meant that I had higher chance of developing cardiovascular disease and stroke. In western world, we usual
ly go to the doctor so they can prescribe some medication and we go home hoping that this helps and to deal with medication's side effects. I was reminded that healing is from AlLah and Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Healing to be found in three things: drinking honey, the knife of a cupper and cauterization of fire" (Al-Bukhari, 10/136) so hijama was an alternative treatment to my condition. I have been treated with hijama every month and my blood pressure is fine now. As a nurse, I have decided to learn and take courses about "Prophetic Medicine" and ultimately practice it. So, why hijama is good for YOU? You see, in western medicine we are really great in "fixing" the problem now. For example: Heart attack? no problem - we will give you a stent! Insulin - it is. However, we are not very good at sustaining our good health for our lifetime. You will never feel like you did 5 years ago unless you eat well, exercise etc. in other words, take care of your physical and mental well being. Hijama is a tool to maintain our body health for a lifetime. Hijama helps:
-Reduces pain
-Removes impurities from the blood stream and body's vital organs
-Get rid of excess blood
-Removes toxins
-Regulates body temperature by reducing excess body heat
-Maintains cardiovascular wellbeing
-Reduces inflammation and swelling
-Helps the body to heal itself
-Stimulates the immune system
We believe in sterile field during hijama and work really hard to prevent any infection during the procedure. All equipments we use including surgical blades, gauze, antibiotic creams after hijama are all sterile. we dispose cups after each use. We do complimentary assessment of every client including: blood pressure check up, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate and lung auscultation. Generally, we provide in home treatments (appointment in the office is also available).
• Currently hijama is only for men (we work towards providing women with hijama services in the future). Instructions for patients:
1. Kindly reserve your appointment on phone before arrival.
2. Fasting of at least 3 hours is recommended before hijama.
3. Do not take blood thinning medicine (e.g. Aspirin, Ascard, Clopidogrel etc) same day before coming.
4. Hijama can not be done if you are experiencing fever. Therapist:
