What is Hijama Cupping Therapy?

Hijama is an old therapeutic and medical technique to improve the natural immune system and may help to cure several disorders. Hijama — one of five pillars of traditional Chinese medicine — has been around for more than 2,500 years. During the sessions, our experienced provider will place cups on specific locations on the body and draw toxins out to treat various conditions. Over the years, researchers have perfected and refined this therapy to provide us with better results.
