Hijama & Cupping à Bruxelles

Discover Hijama in Brussels: a traditional therapy for your well-being
What this offer includes:
1. Installation and preparatory massage: The patient is comfortably positioned, most often lying on their stomach, but can also be seated or on their back for abdominal exercises, whichever is more convenient for you. It often begins with a good 15-minute oil massage (e.g., sweet almond oil) to relax the muscles and warm the skin for cupping.
2. Cupping: A total of 6 to 10 cups are placed on certain parts of the body, depending on the desired effect. Typically, they are left in place for 5 to 15 minutes; this varies depending on the technique used and the treatment.
3. Make an incision and then apply the cups (for a wet treatment): After removing the cups (this is the case for all hijama techniques), if it's wet hijama, the practitioner makes very light superficial incisions on the surface of the skin. This will help remove any dirty or trapped blood from the body. It doesn't hurt.
4. Reapply the cups: The cups are then placed on the points chosen for the wet treatment, allowing the continued removal of dirty blood. This operation can also be repeated two to three times during the same session to ensure maximum purification or to cleanse the blood as much as possible.
5. Finishing the session: Once the treatment is complete, the practitioner cleans the three or four small incisions in case they bleed or are dirty. He stops the bleeding if necessary and protects them if necessary before leaving you. You will generally feel relieved and very relaxed.

Hijama, also known as cupping therapy, is an ancient healing practice that dates back thousands of years. This traditional therapy, of Eastern origin, has gained popularity worldwide due to its numerous health benefits and holistic approach to well-being. In this article, we will explore the foundations of Hijama and its many benefits.

What is Hijama?

Hijama involves applying cups to the skin to create suction that helps draw out toxins and stimulate blood circulation. The cups can be made of glass, plastic, or bamboo, and are placed on specific areas of the body according to the patient's needs. Once in place, they create a partial vacuum that draws blood to the skin's surface, promoting the elimination of impurities.

The Benefits of Hijama:

Body Detoxification: Hijama is known for its detoxifying properties. By removing toxins and waste from the blood, it helps improve overall health and strengthen the immune system.
Muscle and Joint Pain Relief: This therapy can relieve muscle and joint pain by improving blood circulation to affected areas, thus promoting healing.
Stress and Anxiety Management: Hijama can help reduce stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and releasing endorphins, the feel-good hormones.
Improved Circulation: By increasing blood circulation, hijama can help prevent cardiovascular problems and maintain healthy blood pressure.
Support in Chronic Disease Management: It is often used as a therapeutic adjunct for conditions such as arthritis, migraines, asthma, and digestive disorders. How a Hijama session works:

A Hijama session is generally painless and lasts 20 to 30 minutes. After applying the cups, the therapist makes minor incisions in the skin to remove any pooled blood. Small cuts heal quickly, and the patient usually feels immediate relief.
