  Proper hydration around Hijama is crucial for supporting the body’s healing processes and preventing side effects like fatigue. Photo by Kobby Mendez on  Unsplash Let’s discuss drink choices before and after Hijama, based on traditional Islamic medicine (Tibb), modern physiological understanding, and practitioner consensus. Hydration is Key The therapy involves the removal of a small amount of “static” blood. Being well-hydrated ensures your blood volume is adequate and your blood isn’t too viscous, making the process smoother and more effective. BEFORE Hijama (24–48 Hours Prior) Best Drink Choices: 1. Plain, Room-Temperature Water: The absolute best. Sip consistently throughout the days before your session. Aim for 2–3 litres. 2. Electrolyte-Infused Water (Natural): Add a pinch of high-quality sea salt and a slice of lemon to your water. This helps with fluid retention and cellular hydration. 3.

One of the most popular sunnah Alkaline tonic is Nabeez.






Nabeez is a prophetic drink, recommended by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Sayydhina Ai'sha (RA) has said: "We would prepare this by putting a handful of dates and raisins into a Mashkeeza. If we prepared Nabeez in the night, the Beloved Prophet (PBUH) would drink it during the day and if we prepared it during the day, He would drink it in the night. (Musnad Ahmad, vol. 9, pp. 301, Hadees 24263)".

Does Hijama Cupping Therapy Heal the Heel pain (Plantar Fasciitis)?

Image
  Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common orthopedic problems. Photo by  Alina Prokudina  on  Unsplash Plantar fasciitis is a pain and inflammation in the bottom of the heel at the point where the thin band of tissues called the plantar fascia connects the heel bone to the front of the foot. The band of tissues called the plantar fascia goes through a lot of wear and tear in our daily routine. A rough routine or too much pressure on the bottom of the foot damages the tissues, as a result, the plantar fascia becomes inflamed and the inflammation causes stabbing pain that worsens as an individual takes the first few steps in the morning. As an individual gets up and moves around, the pain decreases eventually, but it returns after standing too long or when you stand up after a while. Structure of the Foot A human foot has 28 bones, 33 joints and around 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. The plantar fascia connects the heel bone to the toes. It supports the arch of...

Reasons for Having Fever After Hijama/Wet Cupping Therapy

Image
  Some of my clients complained of having a fever after the session of Hijama. Let’s discuss why it happens. Hijama cupping therapy is a traditional alternative medical treatment practiced in ancient Egyptians, Chinese culture, Arabic medicine, Greek medicine, and Prophetic medicine. Cupping alleviates pain by increasing blood circulation and eliminating toxins from the body. Cupping also helps to reduce inflammation and increases blood flow, which provides relaxation and well-being to the body. Hijama cupping therapy has been a safe and secure method to handle issues with soft tissues and stiff muscles for centuries. When cups are applied on the targetted area of the skin, it creates negative pressure. The negative pressure helps to reduce the tension and stiffness in the muscles and also aids in releasing the myofascial and scar tissues. Hijama cupping therapy is a safe and secure therapy. Generally, it does not cause any severe side effects. However, some symptoms may occur for ...
