Quick Answer
What is Hijama?
Plain English explanation
Hijama is wet cupping. Cups are placed on the skin to create suction, then small superficial scratches are made before the cups are reapplied. A small amount of blood is drawn from the skin surface.
At Herts Cupping, Hijama is carried out with sterile single-use equipment, a consultation first and clear aftercare afterwards. The clinic is based in St Albans and serves clients across Hertfordshire and surrounding areas.

WhatsApp firstHow we approach Hijama
Simple, clean and not overcomplicated
In clinic, I keep Hijama straightforward. You tell me what you are dealing with, I check suitability, then I explain what I recommend and why. I do not use fear-based claims, exaggerated promises or invented rituals.
For Muslim clients, Hijama is a Sunnah practice and that matters. We respect that by following authentic guidance where it is established, while avoiding cultural habits and superstitions that people sometimes attach to Hijama.
For clients who are not Muslim, Hijama is simply wet cupping. You are still welcome. The same standards apply: private room, sterile setup, careful treatment and honest advice.
Sunnah-Based Practice
Authentic Hijama, not cultural guesswork
Hijama gets mixed with a lot of cultural claims online. We keep the approach clear, safe and grounded.
What we do follow
We follow authentic Sunnah guidance where established, including recognised Sunnah areas and recommended Hijama dates where relevant. We also consider your health history, symptoms, presentation and safety before treatment.
What we do not promote
We do not promote superstition, fear-based diagnosis, jinn claims, black magic claims, guaranteed cures, random point maps or the idea that every issue has one magic cup location.
Clinical hygiene
Every Hijama session uses sterile single-use blades, cups and disposables. Nothing is reused. The area is cleaned before and after treatment, and you receive clear aftercare guidance before you leave.

Need More Depth?
When Hijama alone may not be enough
Some clients book Hijama for Sunnah, detox and wellbeing. Others come with stubborn pain, recurring tightness or training fatigue. If your issue is muscular, a recovery session may be the better route.
Targeted Recovery + Hijama
A session combining Hijama with dry cupping, deep tissue work and IASTM muscle scraping where suitable. Best for one or two main areas such as back, shoulders, neck or legs.
From £95
Full Body Recovery + Hijama
A session for wider coverage. Suitable for clients with multiple tight areas, long-standing restriction or those wanting the most complete recovery session.
From £135
Suitability and safety
Hijama may not be suitable for everyone. Please message before booking if you are pregnant, taking blood thinners, have uncontrolled diabetes, a bleeding disorder, active infection, severe anaemia, a serious medical condition, or you are unsure whether wet cupping is appropriate. We would rather advise honestly than treat someone when Hijama is not suitable.
