Coming Back to the Sunnah: Why I Offer Hijama Therapy
In a world full of wellness trends, detox teas, and endless supplement advice...
Hijama therapy is something I come back to again and again.
Not because it’s trendy, but because it’s from the sunnah.
Because it changed my life.
What is Hijama?
Hijama (wet cupping therapy) is a sunnah-based healing practice where suction cups are placed on the body, followed by small skin incisions to draw out stagnated, toxic blood. This blood often holds inflammation, cellular waste, and emotional heaviness that can make us feel tired, foggy, or off balance. Hijama helps the body detox naturally, improve circulation, and reset.
Who is it for?
Most of the women I work with are in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. And they’re exhausted.
If you’re dealing with:
• Chronic fatigue
• PMS, bloating, or irregular cycles
• Anxiety, mood swings, or emotional heaviness
• Muscle tension or headaches
...you’re not alone.
Hijama for women may be exactly the support your body has been asking for.
My Journey with Hijama
Seven years ago, I was pregnant with my daughter when I was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.
At the time, it was one of the hardest moments of my life. But looking back, I see it as a turning point, a blessing in disguise.
After two years of chemo, a bone marrow transplant, and more medications than I can count, I was technically in remission… but I didn’t feel healed.
I was constantly exhausted. No matter how much I slept, I woke up tired. My gut was destroyed after over a year of antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals. I had to give myself a pep talk just to get out of bed.
I tried everything: acupuncture, juicing, so many supplements… but nothing seemed to work.
Then I found hijama therapy.
I’ll never forget my first session…I started crying without knowing why. I felt so embarrassed. But my therapist gently said: “Hijama is also an emotional release.”
And she was right. Each session after that helped me feel lighter, clearer, and more in tune with my body. And it opened a door for me…one that led me to studying Prophetic medicine and sunnah-based healing. I began to learn that Allah already gave us tools to heal: black seed, honey, cupping, intentional nourishment, and more.
Why I Offer It Now
Hijama wasn’t something I planned to pursue, it just made sense after everything I had been through. It helped me in ways I wasn’t expecting. Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too. After a while, I realized more women needed access to this. Women who are exhausted, dealing with symptoms no one seems to understand, or just want something that feels aligned with their faith. That’s why I decided to get certified and help revive a sunnah for healing in my community.
