All Hijama questions
Hijama, also known as wet cupping therapy, is a traditional wellness practice and important Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Specialised cups are applied to the body, followed by gentle superficial incisions to remove a small amount of stagnant blood. At Sunnah Remedies in London, sessions are performed by qualified practitioners using sterile single-use equipment.

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.
Sunnah Remedies offers Standard Hijama from £65 and Premium Hijma from £95. All sessions include consultation, sterile single-use equipment and aftercare guidance. View current pricing when you book online at sunnahremedies.co.uk/booking.
When performed by trained practitioners with strict infection-control protocols and single-use sterile cups and blades, Hijama is generally well tolerated. Sunnah Remedies follows clinical hygiene standards, screens for contraindications, and uses disposable equipment for every client.
Dry cupping uses suction alone. Wet cupping (Hijama) adds very superficial incisions after suction to remove a small amount of blood. Sunnah Remedies specialises in wet cupping following prophetic Sunnah points and modern safety standards.
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.
