Hijama (Wet Cupping Therapy)

Hijama (Wet Cupping Therapy)

Detox, Heal, and Rejuvenate the Natural Way

Hijama, also known as Wet Cupping Therapy, is a time-honored healing practice rooted in ancient Unani and Islamic medicine. At Aastha Acupressure and Acupuncture Clinic, we offer safe, hygienic, and professionally administered Hijama therapy to detoxify the body, relieve pain, and enhance physical and mental wellness.

This holistic method works by removing "stagnant, impure, or toxic blood" from specific points on the body, helping to restore energetic balance and promote internal healing.

What is Hijama?

Hijama involves placing specialized suction cups on the skin to create a vacuum. After a few minutes, small, superficial incisions are made, and the cups are reapplied to draw out a small amount of blood. This process:

Stimulates blood circulation

Flushes out toxins and metabolic waste

Activates the body’s natural healing mechanisms

It is often used as both a preventive and curative therapy.
