From the reviews

She really helped me improve my overall health. I had a few health concerns that my doctor could not help me with. He just would tell me to take pain relievers for the pain. Acu Hijama helped me treat the root problem. After my hijama, accupuncture, and herbs I felt 10000000x better.

★★★★★ — Proud, Nov 2021

I am so happy to find Dr Amal, She is very kind and does hijama very nicely not felt the pain. She maintains perfect hygiene and never uses the cups again which is very satisfactory. I liked how patiently she listened to all my concerns and asked many questions related to my health conditions.

★★★★★ — Fouzia, Feb 2022

This is my first time of writing my review. I have been suffering because my knees have pain for more than 3 years plus I had a pinched nerve on my shoulder that started last year it went away but recently it came back.

★★★★★ — Chompoo, Feb 2022

A few weeks ago, I visited Acu Hijama while having a severe health problem. Dr. Amal was very kind and understanding. She took her time with me and focused on my case. She asked the right questions and she came up with the right treatment for me.

Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Acu Hijama | Acupuncture Clinic

Acu Hijama | Acupuncture Clinic comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — a female practitioner is available here. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
