Hijama (Wet Cupping) in Kurla: Benefits, Safety & What to Expect

By Sumaiya·18 June 2026· 8 min

Hijama, or wet cupping, is one of the oldest therapies still practiced today — and demand in Kurla has grown fast as people look for drug-free relief from pain, migraines and chronic fatigue.

What Hijama actually helps with

Chronic back and shoulder pain, migraines and tension headaches, poor circulation, PCOS-related sluggishness, sciatica, high stress, and general detoxification. Many clients report better sleep and mood within a few sessions.

How a session works

After a short consultation, sterile cups are placed on specific points (Sunnah points or symptom-based points). Light suction is applied, followed by very superficial micro-incisions and a second cupping cycle that draws out stagnant blood. The process is calmer and less painful than most people expect.

Safety — non-negotiables

Only choose a therapist who uses single-use cups, single-use sterile blades, gloves and a clean treatment room. At Nayami Cosmyc every Hijama session follows strict sterilisation protocols — nothing is ever reused.

Why Sumaiya

Sumaiya holds a Master Diploma in Cupping Therapy (M.D. Cup) and has performed hundreds of sessions on clients from Kurla, Vidyavihar, Ghatkopar, Chembur and Bandra. Female clients specifically prefer her clinic for the privacy and comfort.

How often to do it

For general wellness: once every 2–3 months. For active pain or migraine: an initial series of 3–4 sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart, then maintenance.
