Aftercare guidelines

What is preferable to do after Hijama

  • Eat a balanced and healthy meal after Hijama treatment.

  • The tiny superficial cuts can feel itchy after Hijama. Do not scratch or itch where the Hijama was performed.

  • It is recommended to apply black seed oil, olive oil or organic coconut oil to help with the healing process.

  • Hijama tends to make clients feel very relieved. It is important to stay active for at least an hour after Hijama.

  • Clients should avoid workout/hard labour for 24 hours after Hijama.

  • Avoid showering for a day after the treatment. This will allow the skin to produce natural oils to help with the healing process.

  • If required you can take a quick shower after 6 hours of your Hijama session. Ensure it’s a quick shower with warm water, not hot.

  • Avoid body wash, soap, or shampoo on your first shower after Hijama.

  •  Avoid steam, sauna & scrubbing on Hijama spots.

  • Avoid consuming milk, cheese, other dairy products and red meat for 24hrs after Hijama. Digesting dairy products places a heavy burden on our body’s detoxification system.

  • You can resume eating straight after Hijama.

  • Drink plenty of fluids and stay hydrated, eat raw fruits and vegetables, and avoid processed and packaged foods.

  • The round red mark where the cups are applied is normal. These round marks usually disappear within 1 week depending on the healing process, but they could remain up to 3 weeks depending on the individual health condition.

  • Avoid exposing Hijama points to direct sun or strong heat as it may cause sweat. High sodium amounts contained in sweat could lead to itching and could irritate the skin.
