Cupping (Hijama)
Standard, heated, or wet Hijama cupping — suction applied to key body points to encourage circulation and long-term relief, popular with athletes, and anyone seeking holistic recovery. Additionally, wet Hijama cupping has a strong history and Islamic importance. Therefore, is sought out by individuals wishing to follow the practices, sunnah, of the Prophet.
Three ways we cup
Licensed practitioners apply suction cups to key points on the body, encouraging blood circulation and providing long-term relief. We offer standard suction cups, heated suction cups, or wet cupping (Hijama) — a technique that involves a small skin incision before the cup is applied — matched to what your body needs.
A 2018 review of cupping research reported benefits across both localized and systemic conditions, largely attributed to improved peripheral blood circulation and immune response. Reported effects include promoting skin blood flow, increasing pain thresholds, improving local metabolism, reducing inflammation and boosting cellular immunity.
