Is Hijama painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle pulling on the skin. The incisions made during wet cupping are superficial and cause minimal discomfort. Many find the overall experience relaxing and therapeutic.
How long does a Hijama session take?
A typical hijama session takes 30-60 minutes depending on the treatment type and areas being treated. First-time patients may need additional time for consultation and health assessment.
How often should I get Hijama?
For general wellness, monthly sessions are recommended. For specific health conditions, your therapist will advise on the optimal frequency. Hijama is particularly beneficial on Sunnah days for hijama (17th, 19th, 21st of Islamic months).
What should I do before and after Hijama?
Avoid heavy meals 2-3 hours before your session. After treatment, rest, stay hydrated, and avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours. Follow proper hijama aftercare tips provided by your therapist for best results.
Is Hijama cupping therapy safe?
Yes, when performed by trained practitioners using sterile equipment. At our hygienic hijama center in Mira Road, we use disposable cups and blades, follow strict hygiene protocols, and screen patients for any contraindications before treatment.
