What Is Hijama Therapy?
Hijama or cupping therapy is an ancient method of healing that is performed by means of suction or persuasion to remove toxins and enhance blood circulation. It is also one of the most potent natural medicines in prophetic medicine and is still used in various parts of the world as a pain reliever, detox and a balance to the health system.
At LEPR Pakistan, we offer professional Hijama services using sterile equipment, skilled practitioners, and medically supervised procedures — ensuring both safety and comfort for every client.
Types of Hijama We Offer at LEPR:

How Hijama Works:
The point is that Hijama is used to correct the natural circulatory system of your body. Sucking the blood to the top pulls the stagnant blood and toxins to the surface and the oxygen rich clean blood flows freely. This helps in:
- Taking the tension and sore muscles away.
- Boosting immune response
- Reducing inflammation
- Improving skin health
- Hormonal balance is beneficial.
Hijama is a safe and rejuvenating procedure when done by experts (as is the case with our specialists at LEPR) which is complementary to modern medicine.
Benefits of Hijama Therapy:
| Physical Benefits | Emotional & Internal Benefits |
| Reduces chronic body pain | Lowers stress and anxiety |
| Improves joint mobility | Improves sleep quality |

| Regulates blood circulation | Boosts mental clarity |
| Clears skin and acne | Strengthens immune function |
Research supports cupping as beneficial for pain management, musculoskeletal stiffness, and blood flow improvement when performed safely by trained practitioners.
