From the reviews

Mariam Mostafa and Yahya are extremely friendly , knowledgeable, and professional. They made me feel very comfortable and explained all the steps throughly and adequately. There was also post cupping sheet that they gave me which outlined how i should take care of my body after the process.

★★★★★ — Muhammad, May 2018

I called because I really needed hijama, and Mariam kindly fit me and my husband in, even though it was last minute. Initially, she mentioned there were no openings until the weekend, but after explaining that we were traveling and had come from far, she made space for us. When we arrived, Mariam was very welcoming.

★★★★☆ — Rahma, Jan 2025

I had my first time hijama with the sister Mariam. Before my appointment she called me to answer my questions and she asked some questions regarding my health. I felt more relieved and less nervous after her call. The day of my appointment I found out she has a side house for her work.

★★★★★ — Myriam, Dec 2019

"I recently had the most incredible experience for Hijama therapy! From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease and confident in their expertise. The treatment was thoroughly explained, and they were attentive to my needs and concerns.

Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Hijamasunnah

Hijamasunnah 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.

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.
