  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. Herbal Teas (Mild & Non-Diuretic): Ginger Tea: Warming, promotes c...

Nabeez With Dates-A Prophetic, Sunnah Drink

 

Nabeez is one of the most popular, alkaline Sunnah tonics that Our Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) used to drink.


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 or 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 at night. (Musnad Ahmad, vol. 9, pp. 301, Hadees 24263)”.

Nabeez Ingredients:

  • Dates or raisins, almonds, barley (add whatever you like) Quantity: 3–4 dates

Method: soak dates overnight, drink the water in the morning and eat the soaked dates as our Prophet (PBUH) used to do.

Preparing Nabeez drink is as simple as soaking dates in a glass of water and drinking it after 12 hours. When dates or raisins are soaked in a glass of water, it sweetens water and softens the dates. Soaked dates release all the minerals and vitamins that make it easy to digest.

Note: Do not mix dates and raisins. Use one at a time.

The drink should be consumed within 12 hours of making it. Long periods of soaking dates or raisins may begin to ferment, leading to the process of brewing alcohol.

Ibn Abbas (radhi Allahu anhu) reported that Nabeez was prepared from raisins for Our Holy Prophet (PBUH) in the waterskin and he would drink it on that day and on the next day and the day following and when it was the evening of the third day, and he would drink it and give it to (his Companions) and if something was left over, he threw that away. Sahih Muslim Book 23 Hadith 4974

Benefits of Nabeez Drink

  • It is an alkaline tonic that removes acidity from the stomach.

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) liked Nabeez to be made at the beginning of the night and would drink it in the morning of the next day. Nabeez is made with dates that are soaked in water; to sweeten the water and it is used both in drinks and foods. Nabeez benefits in strengthening the body and preserving the health. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not drink the Nabeez more than three days old, which might have started to decompose and become intoxicating.

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 ...
