This guide explains what women can expect when booking a Hijama appointment and answers some of the most frequently asked questions.
What Is Wet Cupping (Hijama)?
Wet Cupping, commonly known as Hijama, is a traditional cupping technique that involves the application of suction cups along with small superficial skin incisions performed by a trained practitioner using appropriate hygiene and clinical protocols.
Treatment approaches are individualized based on each person's circumstances, preferences, and practitioner assessment.
At Relief Plus Wellness, patient comfort, safety, privacy, and professional standards are important parts of the treatment experience.
