Holistic Tibb Hijama

Hijama Cupping Therapy was established over 1400 years ago, during    the advent of Islam in Arabia. The practice of    "Hijama" was    introduced    and    became an extension of general Chinese cupping.

It is a completely separate therapy from regular cupping    and is a whole treatment    in its    own right    as it is based on religion and faith. Muslims practice Hijama, based on what was ordained by Allah (The Exalted) and practiced by Muhammad    (PBUH).

“Al-Hijama” comes from “Al Hajm”, which means to “restore to the original size” or to “diminish volume” and “to Suck”. Small, superficial cuts are made on the skin that is being cupped.

The suction pressure under the cup would then stimulate the toxic or unhealthy blood to trickle out and cleanse the diseased or inflamed area of pain on the body. This diminishes the volumes of excess toxic fluids and humors in the body.

It serves to cleanse, normalize, alkalize, and create “Homeostasis” (Balance) within the body.
