Aftercare & Pre Treatment Hijama (Wet Cupping) Guidelines

1. Hygiene & Preparation

• Take a shower before your appointment, as you will need to avoid bathing for 12 hours afterwards.
• Ensure your skin is clean and free from oils, creams, or lotions.

2. Fasting

• Fast for 3 4 hours before your treatment (2 hours if anaemic or diabetic).
• Avoid heavy meals or caffeine before your appointment.

3. Hydration

• Drink plenty of water before arriving. Hydration improves circulation and makes your session more effective.

4. Clothing

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to treatment areas.
• Avoid tight waistbands or restrictive outfits.

5. Travel & Food

• If you’re travelling a long distance, bring a light snack (such as fruit or salad) to enjoy after your session.
• Please arrive on time to allow for a relaxed, unhurried start.

1. Rest

• Allow your body to rest and recover.
• Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for 24 hours.
• Take the remainder of the day to relax and reflect.

2. Hydration

• Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and support your kidneys and lymphatic system.
• Avoid sugary or caffeinated drinks.

3. Incision Care (for Hijama sessions)

• Apply Black Seed Oil to the treated area for 2 3 days to support healing and reduce itching.
• Keep the area clean and dry.

Avoid:

• Scratching or rubbing the area
• Showering for 12 hours / bathing for 48 hours
• Swimming, saunas, or steam rooms until fully healed

4. Diet

• Eat light, nourishing meals after treatment.
• Avoid red meat, fish, and dairy for 48 hours to reduce post treatment fatigue.
• Focus on hydrating, detox friendly foods like fruits, vegetables, and soups.

5. Sexual Activity

• Refrain from sexual activity for 24 hours after Hijama to allow your energy and circulation to rebalance.
