SHOULD I FAST BEFORE COMING TO A SESSION?

It is essential to stop eating at least three hours before a hijama session. You can still drink. There are no restrictions in terms of acupuncture sessions.

 

What should I do after a session?

Please read the advice given on our care page.

 

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO HIJAMA CUPPING?

We don't normally prescribe the frequency of hijama cupping. Some people like to come every month, some every three months, some every six months and some every year. We leave it to you to decide how it best fits in with your personal regime.  

 

Does it hurt?

No. But sometimes there is discomfort and in the first day or so afterwards the cupped area may feel a little itchy. We recommend using black seed oil, olive oil or argan oil for up to seven days after the session.  

 

DO YOU RE-USE THE CUPS AND SCALPELS (BLADES)?

No.  We use the hijama cups, scalpels (blades) and acupuncture needles once only and then dispose of them using a UK-registered Clinical Waste Contractor.

  

Is there parking?

Yes, there is free on-street parking and also parking on the drive (on a first-come, first-served basis).

 

Can we take photos and videos in the session?

We take photos on request and send them to you via Whatsapp, deleting them from our records afterwards. We do not allow clients to take photos, film or videos.

 

Can I bring my own cups or needles?

We do not allow this, based on our hygiene rules.

 

Can I have a relative or friend in the session with me?

Yes, of course. There is space for up to two people to be with you.

 

What's the point of the Clinical Waste Contract?

It is vital that all UK hijama practitioners have a Clinical Waste Contract with a Clinical Waste Company at all times to ensure

  • Proper disposal of cups, blades, toxins, blood etc by incineration

  • The reputation of hijama in the UK is protected and enhanced
