What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy, also known as hijama, is a traditional treatment that uses suction cups to stimulate blood flow, remove toxins, and encourage the body’s natural healing. It involves placing cups on specific areas of the body or face to create a vacuum that promotes deep circulation and relaxation.

The treatment can be dry (suction only) or wet hijama (involving small, controlled skin incisions to release toxins). Many clients report an immediate sense of relief and lightness following the session. Facial cupping is also a gentle option for skin tone improvement and reducing puffiness.

How Does It Work?

  • Suction creates negative pressure to pull skin and underlying tissues upward.

  • Increased circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to the area.

  • Lymphatic flow is stimulated, helping clear toxins and reduce stagnation.

  • In wet cupping, minor incisions allow the release of built-up waste products.

  • For facial hijama, gentle suction lifts and massages the skin to stimulate collagen and reduce puffiness.

Cupping therapy provides numerous health and wellness benefits that are both physical and energetic.

  • Relieves muscle stiffness and chronic pain

  • Promotes detoxification and lymphatic drainage

  • Boosts circulation and cell repair

  • Improves skin elasticity and facial glow (with facial cupping)

  • Reduces inflammation and swelling

  • Calms anxiety and stress

  • Aids in recovery from fatigue and burnout

  • Enhances overall vitality and immune support

Cupping therapy is suitable for:

  • Adults experiencing muscle pain, tension, or fatigue

  • Those suffering from poor circulation or toxin buildup

  • Individuals looking for a natural detox and immune support

  • People with migraines, back pain, or sports injuries

  • Clients seeking facial hijama for natural skin glow

Not suitable for:

  • Individuals with open wounds, bleeding disorders, or very sensitive skin

  • Pregnant women (without medical clearance)

Before Treatment

  • A short consultation identifies target areas and health goals

  • Skin is cleansed to ensure a sterile surface

During Treatment

  • Sterile cups are placed on the skin and suction is applied

  • For wet cupping, tiny incisions are made before suction

  • Facial cupping uses smaller, softer cups for a gentle massage effect

After Treatment

  • Cups are removed, and skin is cleaned again

  • Red circular marks may appear and fade within a few days

  • You may feel lighter, relaxed, and more energized

Aftercare & Recovery

  • Keep the treated area clean and avoid strenuous activity for 24 hours

  • Stay hydrated and rest to support detox

  • Avoid showers, swimming, or saunas on the same day

  • Use a light oil or cream to soothe the skin if needed

  • Marks will fade naturally within 3–7 days
