Hijamah for Women at Moins Wellbeing Centre in Leicester.
This is a guest-post in the form of a written interview with Hafsa Omar - a female cupping therapist based in Leicester, England, and it is an update to her earlier post of 20 March, 2009 entitled : Female Hijama Therapist now available in Leicester! .
Please give us a short introduction about yourself, and in particular how you ended up being a hijama therapist?
My name is Hafsa Omar and I currently practice Hijamah therapy for women in Leicester. I have been practising now for about two years mainly in Leicester although I have done outside clinics. I became interested in Hijamah a few years ago. A friend of mine who is a practising Accupunctrist in London has done cupping (dry) on me since my teens. I always found it beneficial and was amazed at the results when she treated me with hijamah for a problem I had that nothing else seemed to cure.
What particular illnesses/ conditions (if any), do you specialise / had the most experience in?
I wouldnt say I specialise in anything in particular but experience shows me that certain conditions/illnesses respond better to hijamah therapy. For instance menstrual problems respond well as well as digestion and stomach problems. Headaches and migraines also respond well, sometimes only needing one treatment. Hijamah is very good for pain related conditions such as backache, neck and shoulder pain, leg pain.
And do you find that in your experience, the conditions/illnesses that you have come across respond well to cupping (hijama) therapy? And if so, what are they?
Many illness and conditions respond well to hijamah. Pain related conditions are usually very effective such as back, neck and shoulder pain. Sciatica, skin conditions such as eczema, skin rashes, acne and digestive problems. Menstrual problems such as delayed, heavy or painful periods respond extremely well but usually a few treatments are needed before benefits can be seen.
Also what would you say about using cupping as a general preventative therapy and how often would you recommend this (once a month? once/twice a year?)
I would definetly recommend hijamah as a preventative therapy. Its an excellant way of ridding the body of toxins and helping to keep you generally healthy. Id say the benefits of hijamah are not always immediate. Sometimes it can take months to notice any benefits or change in health.
As a hijama therapist, how often do you get hijama done yourself, and what for (if any specific condition) and who do you go to to get it done (since it is not an easy therapy to self-administer)?
I try and have hijamah done every month on the sunnah day as a general preventative measure. Alhamdullilah I dont have any health problems but I have still noticed a difference in my well being since having hijamah. Dr Aaliyah in Birmingham has done it on me a few times and I also have a friend who does it for me although its not always easy as sunnah days are usually very busy Alhamdullilah, thats it hard to find the time to do it.
