Frequently asked questions
Common questions
Many athletes use Hijama as part of recovery and wellness routines to support muscular tension relief and relaxation. Sunnah Remedies offers sessions suited to active clients — consult your practitioner and sports physician if you compete at elite level.
Clients commonly report relief from muscular tension, support for back and shoulder discomfort, improved circulation, relaxation, and support for recovery and overall wellness. Hijama is a complementary practice — individual experiences vary and it is not a substitute for medical treatment.
Keep the cupping area clean and dry for 24 hours, avoid intense exercise and hot baths on the day of treatment, stay hydrated, and rest. Your Sunnah Remedies practitioner provides written aftercare guidance tailored to your session.
Frequency depends on your goals and health history. Many clients book monthly or seasonally. The Sunnah recommends certain lunar dates (17th, 19th, 21st of the Islamic month). Your practitioner will advise a personalised plan at consultation.
Eat a light meal 1–2 hours before, stay hydrated, avoid alcohol for 24 hours, and wear comfortable clothing. Inform your practitioner of medications, pregnancy, or medical conditions. Arrive relaxed and on time for your London appointment.
