Traditionally, hijama treats various health conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, respiratory problems, digestive disorders, and skin problems. Modern medicine recognises Hijama therapy as reducing pain and inflammation in the body, improving blood circulation, and boosting the immune system.

Hijama is a type of wet cupping that is frequently practiced in many Muslim countries. This technique involves using a cup to pull the skin into traction, which results in a laceration of the skin with drawing of blood into the cup.

These days are ideal to perform Cupping therapy on the body. Sunnah days are the 17th, 19th, or 21st of the Lunar Calendar. These sunnah dates for hijama have great significance in Islam religion. The combination of the 17th, 19th, and 21st with Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday are the best for Hijama.

Regarding the excellence of Cupping (Hijama) as a remedy It was narrated from Abu Hurairah (radhi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said, "If there is any good in any of the remedies you use, it is in cupping [Hijama]." Sunan Ibn Majah Book 31, Hadith 3605. Classed as Hasan by Darussalam.
