Cupping (Hijama) is of three types

• Dry cupping – This is the process of using a vacuum on different areas of the body in order to gather the blood in that area without incisions (small, light scratches using a sterile surgical blade).

• Dry massage cupping – This is similar to dry cupping, but olive oil is applied to the skin (before applying the cups) in order to allow easy movement of the cups. 70% of diseases, pains and ailments are due to the blood being unable to reach certain parts of the body. Dry cupping and dry massaging cupping allow the blood to reach these places. Dry and massage cupping may be administered any time of the day, any day of the week or month. There are no restrictions.

• Wet cupping (Hijama) – This is the process of using a vacuum at different points on the body but with small incisions in order to remove ‘harmful’ blood which lies just beneath the surface of the skin. (It is recommended that wet cupping (hijama) is only administered by a cupping therapist).

Is cupping (Hijama) a cure for every disease in Islam?

According to the Islamic Hadith:

The Messenger (sws) said, “Indeed in cupping (Hijama) there is a cure.” [Sahih Muslim (5706)].

The Messenger(sws) said, “Whoever performs cupping (Hijama) on the 17^th, 19^th or 21^st day (of the Islamic, lunar month) then it is a cure for every disease.” [Sahih Sunan abu Dawud (3861)].

Cupping paired with access weight

When fat causes cellulite, over time, it can harden under the form of lumps beneath your skin, and cannot be removed by just a massage. Our cupping therapy promotes weight loss and full-body toning by stimulating acu-points and running them along the lymphatic lines. These special acu-points provide your circulatory system with the energy required to metabolize body fat, including the fat in your problem areas and the fat around your internal organs. A more efficient circulation can facilitate the removal of toxins and excess water that are causing or increasing your weight problems. Furthermore, the suction created helps to reach fat located in the deeper level, and separate it from the fibres. Once ruptured, it will be liquified and all its waste will be flushed out through the lymphatic system.
