In the modern world, stress and pain are an unsurprisingly common occurrence. Unsurprisingly, in a recent survey about 75% of Americans have reported experiencing a mental or physical symptom of stress in the last month. Chronic pain including but not limited to back pain, joint pain, and migraines are also extremely widespread. Many people seek help through drugs or vaccines, but that's where Hijama begins.
Our Prophet (pbuh) underwent Hijama multiple times and strongly recommended, not just for the body but also for the soul. He had hijama done on him after being poisoned, for a headache, and once after dislocating a foot. Our Prophet (pbuh) said,
"The best treatment you can use is cupping.”
-Abi Dawud 3857
Hijama's benefits are also proven by science. Hijama helps improve blood circulation throughout the body and also helps lessen fatigue and musculoskeletal issues.
The most common reason for not trying Hijama are people afraid of it hurting. Naturally, when people see blood and/or cuts on the body, they instinctively think danger. The truth is, the cuts are tiny (usually only 0.5 - 1 mm deep!) and heal in just a few days. Even the blade used for cupping is very small. Most people, after doing Hijama, report that while being cut, it felt like tiny scratches, and that the sensation quickly disappears in just a few seconds.
Here's the truth: Hijama relieves much more pain that it causes.
In summary, Hijama is a form of therapy that can heal not just your body, but also your soul. Hijama is a form of worship, but also a form of treatment. We at Hikma Healing invite you to try Hijama, and we promise you won't regret it!
