Ancient Therapy. Modern Care. Rooted in Your Community.
At Masnad Health Clinic – Lakemba, our hijama (wet cupping) service is delivered with the highest standard of hygiene and professionalism, by experienced practitioners who respect both the traditional roots of the therapy and modern-clinic safety standards. Ideal for those seeking relief, detoxification, or simply a holistic maintenance treatment in the Lakemba area.
What is Hijama?
Hijama, also known as wet cupping, involves making very superficial incisions in specified points of the body and applying suction cups to draw out fluid and de-oxygenated blood. The process may help stimulate circulation, remove metabolic waste, relieve muscular tension and support your overall sense of wellbeing.
Conditions & Benefits We Support
We apply hijama for a range of reasons, including but not limited to:
-
Persistent muscle or joint tension (e.g., back, shoulder, neck, hip).
-
Recovery from repetitive postural strain (desk work, driving, manual tasks).
-
Support for hormonal & circulatory issues (where recommended).
-
Headache and migraine relief support.
-
Digestive discomfort or bowel sluggishness.

FAQs
Is hijama safe?
Yes — when performed by a trained therapist under sterile conditions, hijama is considered safe. Our clinic adheres to clinic-grade hygiene and infection-control standards specific to cupping.
Does it hurt?
You may feel light suction or pressure, and the incisions are very superficial. You may experience mild soreness afterwards, but many clients feel relaxed and improved afterwards.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your individual goals and condition. We’ll discuss a tailored plan during your first consultation.
Is hijama only for spiritual or religious purposes?
While hijama has traditional and prophetic medicine roots, at our clinic it is offered as part of a health-wellness service open to all clients, regardless of background. We tailor it to your needs.
