  •   If you suspect that you are afflicted with black magic or jinn please let us know before arriving so that we can come up with a proper plan of treatment with you.

  •   Pray two rakkat ‘Salat-ul-Hajja’ and make dua to Allah to give you shifa through this Sunnah remedy.

​

  • Resume eating with-in one hour after the Hijama in moderation. Drink plenty of fluids right after Hijama.

  •   Stay active for at least next 4 hours.

  •   NEVER sleep or rest after cupping as newly dislodged living and dead blood cells could result in clotting.

  •   Red marks from the cupping normally fade within a week, depending on skin type. Do not scratch the cupped areas.

  •   The small shallow scratches that are necessary to extract the dead blood cells may take a few weeks to heal. In some cases faded tiny lines of scarring may persist.
