Ancient Unani detox therapy that improves circulation, removes toxins, and supports natural healing.
Introduction to Hijama Therapy
Hijama Therapy, also known as Cupping Therapy, is one of the most well-known therapeutic procedures in the Unani system of medicine. It has been practiced for centuries as a natural method to detoxify the body, improve blood circulation, and restore the body’s natural balance.
In Unani medicine, health depends on the balance of bodily fluids (Akhlat). When toxins and impure blood accumulate in the body, it may lead to pain, inflammation, fatigue, and various chronic diseases. Hijama therapy helps remove this stagnant blood and toxins, allowing the body to heal naturally.
At Oasis: A Unani Clinic, Hijama therapy is performed using hygienic and medically safe techniques under professional supervision.
What is Hijama Therapy?
Hijama therapy is a controlled therapeutic procedure in which special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction helps draw out stagnant blood, toxins, and metabolic waste from the body.
The procedure generally includes two stages:
- Dry Cupping – Cups are placed on the skin to create suction and improve blood circulation.
- Wet Cupping (Hijama) – Small superficial incisions are made and suction is applied to remove impure blood.
This process stimulates blood flow, detoxifies the body, and activates the body’s natural healing response.
