History
Hijamah has been used for thousands of years. Although it is often associated with traditional Chinese Medicine, the entire world once knew this of therapy and used it. The Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese used Hijamah therapy. The oldest recorded medical textbook, Ebers Papyrus, written in approximately 1550 BCE in Egypt, mentions Cupping (Curtis, 2005). In the UK, the practice of Hijamah therapy also dates back a long time, as it was mentioned in one of the leading medical journals called 'The Lancet', founded in 1823. The word Lancet refers to the surgical instrument that can scrape the skin to perform blood Hijamah. Blood Hijamah is the most frequently used, oldest, and often the most effective method.
Definition
'Hijamah' in Arabic is derived from the word 'hajm' which means sucking. And It refers to the practice of Blood Cupping only. Most Muslim Cupping therapists are trained for the Sunnah Cupping points on the body. This is the area on the back, in between the shoulder blades, and slightly towards the neck. There are many other Cupping points too to target different conditions. However, for someone who just wants Hijama done to follow the Sunnah, the 'Sunnah points' are where the therapist will apply the cups.
This religious ritual is practiced based on the teaching of the prophet peace be upon him.
Rumaid reported that Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) has asked about
the earnings of a cupper. Then (the above-mentioned hadith was reported but with this addition) that he said:
The best treatment which you get is cupping. or aloeswood and do not torture your children by pressing their uvula.

Hijamah therapy is not a 'magic pill'. It will require active participation and engagement on your end. It is also likely that you will require more than one treatment for maximum effectiveness. Remember that toxins, stagnation and congestion have been building in your body for your entire life. For this reason, we have priced our treatments very affordably. Additional treatments such as Facial Detox may be added A la Carte to any treatment for a minimal additional amount.

HijamahWorks has a quantitative and objective assessment process. This is based on your intake form and feedback from your interview, and various physical tests your practitioner may perform.
Your practitioner will review the number of cups and sites before each treatment, and only proceed after reaching a level of comfort that aligns with your goals. There is no upper limit, however it generally does not exceed 10.
Absolutely. Like any detox (sauna, juicing, digesting cleanse, etc.) Hijamah can act as a prevention before symptoms surface.
Eventhough its not apparent, most people do suffer some kind of imbalance and this is often surfaced during the intake interview. Often our perceptions of "healthy" are challenged and as your meet and spend time with us, your paradigms will shift and you'll slowly transform for the better, in sha Allah.
Due to the weakened state of the body and fluctuating hormones, we do not advise hijamah during women's menses cycle unless absolutely critical.
Dry Cupping can absolutely be done. For low iron this would be at the discretion of your practitioner. For other blood issues, hijamah should not be done while taking a blood thinner. If a patient chooses to stop their blood thinner for hijamah, this should only be done under the supervision and consent of their primary healthcare practitioner.
Prepare yourself for a very peaceful and serene experience. Hijamah is a spiritual experience and you will walk away better. Yes there is a degree of discomfort as the blade grazes the surface of your skin. But this lasts for a few moments only and is quickly followed by feelings of lightness, calm, peace and serenity. Many of our patients stand up after the treatment looking brighter and are overwhelmed with feelings of thankfulness (hamd).
