About Abu Ibraheem and Umm Ibraheem

Hijama Points is run by Abu Ibraheem and Umm Ibraheem, a husband-and-wife team of Certified Hijama Therapists with more than 30 years of combined experience practising hijama. Every treatment plan, point map and guide on this site comes from what we have seen and recorded in our own clinic.

Our story

"My wife and I have been Hijama / Cupping Therapists for the past 15 years. We started out by trying to find a solution to our own aches and pains, which mainstream medicine had given up on. After trying cupping, we realised we had not only physically healed but also felt spiritually uplifted, and were now living a more healthy and fulfilling lifestyle."

Abu Ibraheem

Fifteen years on, we have helped hundreds, if not thousands, of people get the same results we did, for problems ranging from back pain and fertility issues to multiple sclerosis and even dandruff. Wet cupping is an amazing therapy, and we wanted to share what we have learned with other therapists and with anyone looking for a holistic route to better health.

Our experience as hijama therapists

We are both Certified Hijama Therapists. Between us we have more than 30 years of hands-on experience practising hijama and cupping therapy.

Experience matters in a hands-on therapy. Over the years we have learned to judge, from the type and condition of a client’s skin, how long cups should stay on to avoid burns and blisters. In wet cupping, the colour and thickness of the blood has sometimes helped us recognise when a client should get tests done, and we have advised them to see their doctor. This kind of judgement only comes from treating many people over many years.

How we create our treatment plans

Our treatment plans are built on meticulous record keeping and empirical observation. For each client we record the points used, the order of sessions and the results, and over time these records have shown us which combinations of points work best for each condition.

Each plan:

• runs over several sessions, usually two to four weeks apart, first helping the body to cleanse and then stimulating healing in the organs and structures involved
• shows the exact points for each session on a zoomable map
• draws on the Sunnah points, on acupuncture and acupressure points, and on the body’s physiology
• includes free information on the condition, its symptoms, and changes to diet and lifestyle that may help

The overview and advice on every plan are free to read. Members can see the session-by-session point maps. Browse all hijama treatment plans to see how they are organised.

What you will find on Hijama Points

• Body maps: every numbered point on the face and head, front of the body, back of the body and legs and arms, with its location and traditional use.
• The 9 Sunnah points: the points the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was cupped on, with the narrations, on our Sunnah points guide.
• Guides: in-depth articles on our blog, from what hijama is to choosing hijama cups.
• Consultations: a one-to-one consultation with a questionnaire, a call and a plan written for you.

Our editorial standards

Because hijama is a health topic, we hold our content to clear standards:

• Experience first. Plans and point maps come from our own clinical records, and each page shows when it was last updated.
• Sources for religious content. Hadith are quoted with the collection they come from, and we note where scholars grade a narration as weak.
• Honest about evidence. Where research is limited or mixed, we say so.
• Not medical advice. Hijama should complement conventional medical care, never replace it. Always consult your GP or medical practitioner, and a Certified Hijama Therapist, before treatment.
• Corrections. If you spot an error, please contact us and we will review it.
