Hizama (Cupping) Therapy
Hijama, also known as cupping therapy, is an ancient healing technique that involves using cups to create suction on the skin, potentially drawing out toxins or stagnant blood. It's frequently practiced in many Muslim countries and is considered a type of wet cupping, involving small incisions on the skin to allow blood to be drawn into the cup.

How Hijama Works
- Suction: A cup is applied to the skin, creating a vacuum that pulls the skin and underlying tissues upwards.
- Incision: After a few minutes, the cup is removed, and a small incision is made on the skin, often with a sterile scalpel.
- Blood Draw: The suction helps draw blood from the area of the incision into the cup.
Benefits
- Pain Relief: Hijama is often used to alleviate muscle pain, joint pain, and headaches.
- Reduced Inflammation: The technique may help reduce inflammation and swelling in the treated area.
- Improved Circulation: Some believe hijama can improve blood flow to the affected area.
- Toxin Removal: The practice is based on drawing out toxins or stagnant blood from the body.
- Mental and Emotional Benefits: Some individuals report feeling calmer and more relaxed after hijama sessions.

Initial Assessment
The therapist and client start with an initial assessment session where they get to know each other. The therapist asks questions to understand the client's presenting concerns, personal history, current life circumstances, and goals for therapy. This helps in establishing a therapeutic alliance and creating a treatment plan tailored to the client's needs.
Establishing Goals
Based on the assessment, the therapist and client collaboratively set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for therapy. These goals serve as a roadmap for the therapeutic process and provide direction for the sessions.
Exploration and Insight
In subsequent sessions, the therapist creates a safe and supportive environment for the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. Through reflective listening, empathy, and insightful questioning, the therapist helps the client gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their life experiences.
Skill Building
Therapy often involves teaching clients coping skills and strategies to deal with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, communication issues, or other mental health concerns. These skills may include relaxation techniques, assertiveness training, problem-solving skills, mindfulness practices, and boundary-setting exercises.
Building Self Confidence
Therapists help clients cultivate self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance. Through validation, positive reinforcement, and encouragement, clients learn to challenge negative self-perceptions, build self-esteem, and develop a greater sense of confidence and self-worth.
Monitoring Progress
Throughout the therapy process, the therapist and client regularly review progress towards the established goals. Adjustments to the treatment plan may be made based on the client's evolving needs and progress.
