Hijama Therapy Procedure

Click to read Health Screening before going through Hijama therapy procedure.

• Firstly, the therapist will ask you to expose the area directly where hijama is needed and disinfect it with alcohol or any other antiseptic.
• Cups will be placed on specific point for few minutes for blood accumulation and to get markings. The points are selected according to the purpose of the required treatment.
• An anesthetic ointment will be applied to temporarily anaesthetize the marked cupping areas.
• The therapist will then give small superficial incisions on your skin before the application of a vacuum-filled cup over it.
• To produce a vacuum in a cup, the therapist uses a pump to create vacuum and this causes the skin to rise . The blood is drawn towards your skin due to vacuum pressure. Hence toxins and impurities are removed from surrounding organs and tissues as well.
• After few minutes, therapist will remove the cups and clean your skin. You will have circular bruises on your skin that may not be painful and resolve with time.
• Finally, a soothing ointment preferably olive oil will be applied to your skin. An antibiotic ointment or olive oil helps prevent infections of the skin that can occur due to incision.

(The cups are made up of disposable material.  There can be 3 to 5 cups in the first sitting. Over time, the therapist may increase it up to 5 to 7 depending on disease treatment. Sterile disposable needle, surgical blade and disposable cups for wet cupping are used under strict hygienic environment). Click and know about our Clinic and other related information
