Wet cupping, or Hijama, is the original and most powerful form of cupping therapy, drawing on thousands of years of healing tradition across the Islamic world, ancient China, and the Middle East. At West End Hijama Clinic in Shepherd's Bush, wet cupping is performed by a Certified Cupping Therapist using fully sterile, single-use equipment in a clean, professional clinical environment. Every session includes a free consultation to discuss your health history, identify the correct cupping points, and tailor the treatment to your individual needs.

MORE INFORMATION
Your wet cupping session at West End Hijama Clinic begins with a consultation to identify the most appropriate cupping points for your condition. Cups are applied to the skin using gentle suction to warm and prepare the tissue. Small, superficial incisions are then made at the cupping points, and the cups are reapplied to draw out a small quantity of stagnant blood. The entire process is methodical, controlled, and performed with your comfort as the priority. Most clients describe the sensation as one of significant release and immediate relief.
The reported benefits of wet cupping are extensive and well-documented in traditional medicine literature. Clients at our Shepherd's Bush clinic regularly report improvements in chronic pain, fatigue, headaches, skin conditions, high blood pressure, and immune function following a course of Hijama treatment. The removal of stagnant blood is believed to stimulate the body's own healing response, encouraging fresh, oxygenated blood to circulate to the treated areas and initiating a powerful physiological reset.
Following your wet cupping session, the treated areas will be cleaned, dressed, and checked by your therapist. You may experience some localised redness or bruising that typically resolves within three to five days. We recommend resting for the remainder of the day, keeping the treated area covered, avoiding cold water for 24 hours, and staying well hydrated. Your therapist will provide full written aftercare guidance at your appointment and is available by phone should you have any post-treatment questions.
