Hijama Treatment The prophetic practice of hijama is utilized to heal a number of widespread diseases. It is the Holy Prophet's Sunnah, according to a number of Hadiths (PBUH). The Prophet (PBUH) and his contemporaries treated a broad variety of ailments using this method often. Unfortunately, hijama was a Sunnah that was long forgotten. However, because to its advantages, it is becoming frequent practice to treat illnesses. In many cultures throughout the world, wet cupping is now replacing allopathic therapy. We Muslims must reap the benefits of it since our Prophet predicted them many years ago, and science has now verified them. - Hijama in Islam
Hijama Hadiths
Numerous narrations are present in Hadith regarding Hijama as an effective approach to treating illnesses.
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Prophet Muhamad (PBUH) said “healing is to be found in three things: drinking honey, the knife of the cupper, and cauterization of fire” (reported by Al-Bukhari, 10/136)
Anas Ibn Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “I did not pass by any group on the night when I was taken on a night journey (Isra), but they said to me, “O Muhammad, tell your Ummah to do cupping” (reported by Ibn Maajah).
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “if there was something excellent to be used as a remedy then it is cupping (Hijama).” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan Ibn Majah).
There are many other Hadiths related to Hijama, but the above-mentioned are enough to get an idea about its importance in Islam.
Best Time for Hijama According to Islam
Because HIjama is an Islamic procedure, therefore it has to be done on specific days and times to get the maximum benefit. According to Hadith narrations Hijama must be done on the 17th, 19th, and 21st of the Lunar month. You must avoid cupping on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. While Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are recommended days for Hijama.
Hijama Procedure
You might be wondering How Hijama is performed? Is it painful? No, Hijama is a non-invasive procedure that involves the application of cups (glass or plastic) on specific points which correspond to specific illnesses. These cups create negative pressure. Due to this vacuum inside, the blood gathers due to negative pressure under the superficial skin. After the pooling of blood, the cupping experts remove the cups and make a small vertical incision over the skin where blood pools due to the vacuum effect of the cups. Cups are applied again to the same points. The blood starts to ooze out due to the vacuum through the incisions. After the blood seeps out the cups are removed, and the expert cleans the area.
The main mechanism by which Cupping works in treating illnesses is that the blood which comes out contains toxins. As cupping removes toxin-containing blood from circulation, it gives place to fresh and healthy blood to circulate. The blood which is pulled out takes with it all the disease-causing toxins. Ultimately, you will feel alleviation in the disease symptoms.
Hijama Points (Hijama Sunnah Points)
Cupping can be done at any point corresponding to the ailment. But our Holy Prophet (PBUH) took Hijama treatment at various specific points. And He demonstrated certain illnesses which can be cured by doing Hijama at these points. Therefore, we must also consider these Sunnah Points while taking or performing Hijama. There are a total of 9 Sunnah points. We will discuss some of the main points that are mostly used. – Hijama in Islam

The first Sunnah point is at the head top. It is used to treat certain neurological conditions including a headache, epilepsy, sinusitis and many other emotional disturbances. Hadith's narrations confirm that Prophet used this point during Cupping for treating Migraine headaches.
2. Above Nape Cavity (Qamahduwah)
The second and third point is on the neck. Hijama at these points provides a cure for almost 72 diseases according to narrations. Some of the diseases include digestive system problems, backache, stomach ache, etc. Hijama at this point also improves general well-being and improves your immunity to fight diseases.
3. Between the Shoulders (KAHIL)
The area between the shoulder blades is the one containing the maximum toxins and impurities. Fourth, fifth and sixth points are on the shoulders. The most effective is in between the shoulders. Prophet (PBUH) took Hijama at this point according to narrations.
4. On the Waist
The seventh and eighth points are on both sides of the navel. Hijama at this point gives the cure for kidney problems and digestive system problems.

The ninth Sunnah point is on the top of the foot. Hijama at this point on either foot cures a headache, constipation, certain psychiatric disorders, and many others.
These nine Sunnah points remove not only toxic blood but also improve circulation throughout the body. It also helps to improve immunity thereby protecting you from getting diseases easily. Improving immunity also makes your body able to fight against diseases.

Some after-effects which can occur after cupping therapy include:
- Disturbance in sleep patterns.
- Emotional disturbance or mood swings.
- Feeling weakness or tiredness
- Disturbance in urinary and bowel habits.
The severity of after effects vary from individual to individual. These after-effects occur because your body gets rid of toxic substances and now fresh blood with maximum energy and nutrients is flowing in your body. The body takes time to adjust to recent changes. However, these after-effects are normal and of no concern. These will subside after 12-24 hours.
