Wet Cupping Therapy (Hijama): The Need for Natural Healing in Modern Times

Wet cupping therapy detoxifies the body, promotes well-being, and provides a reliable alternative to conventional medicine, making it a significant choice for those seeking holistic health solutions.


In the contemporary era, despite regular check-ups, tests, and medication prescribed by doctors, many suffer from chronic ailments such as headaches, back pain, or joint pain. These individuals often find themselves reliant on painkillers but remain concerned about the potential long-term damage to their liver or kidneys.

Furthermore, those already afflicted with liver or kidney diseases face limitations in seeking additional treatments, as many medications are unsuitable for them, requiring careful dosage adjustments. Chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, psoriasis, and asthma exacerbate patients’ despair, making disease management a wearying struggle.

Given these challenges, various forms of complementary or alternative medicine have gained traction. Among these, Hijama Cupping Therapy has emerged as a reliable solution for those seeking a natural and effective treatment method.

Prophetic Endorsement:

Anas (RA) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “On the night of Mi’raj, I passed by groups of angels, all of whom advised me to instruct my Ummah to practice Hijama.” (Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadees No. 2053).

Abu Kabsha Al-Anmari (RA) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) would practice Hijama on the middle of his head and between his shoulders and said, “Whoever performs Hijama on these areas, it will suffice as a treatment for all diseases.” (Sunan Abu Dawood, Hadees No. 3859; Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadees No. 3484, authentic chain).

The Prophet (PBUH) also advised, “If there is an increase in heat, take help from Hijama, because if someone’s blood pressure rises, it may cause death.” (Al-Hakim, Hadees No. 7482).

Global Acceptance and Practice:

While Hijama is prevalent in Arab countries, India, and Pakistan, it is quickly gaining popularity in Bangladesh. Modernized Hijama practices are also found in Japan, America, and China. During the Prophet’s time, this treatment was highly common. Given the Prophet’s own practice and encouragement of Hijama, it is evident that it holds numerous benefits.
