From the reviews
Amazing experience!!! I usually don’t write a review but since this has to do with health, and many people are scared to do it, like me, I felt that I should share my experience to encourage others. This is my first Hijama session and I was extremely nerves, however, Sr.
I’ve had great experience with Authentic cupping! I’ve been coming here for some time, and I always leave feeling better. I’ve seen great improvement in my overall health. Alhamdulillah that the Sunnah of our Messenger, Peace and Blessing be upon him, guided us to such an effective therapy. Thank you.
I recently had a cupping session with Olla who was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about the process , her technique was gentle and precise. She made me feel comfortable throughout the entire session. She was very attentive and made sure I was feeling better after the session.
I honestly don’t know where to begin. As soon as you walk in the door you feel welcomed. The place is very clean and organized. They are very professional and have extensive knowledge about hajama. Ola discussed with me every step and the options that were available…from dry cupping to wet cupping.
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Authentic Cupping (Hijamah)
Authentic Cupping (Hijamah) 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 — ask whether that can be arranged. 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.
