Cupping Therapy & Hijama in Dubai — Ancient Healing, Modern Suite
Traditional cupping (dry) and Hijama (wet cupping) performed by certified therapists in a hygienic, private setting. Pull tension, toxins and stagnant energy out of the body.
Two Powerful Traditions, One Hygienic Setting
Cupping therapy uses suction cups to lift tissue and create blood flow to areas of tension and pain. Hijama (wet cupping) is a Sunnah practice that adds tiny, sterile incisions to draw out small amounts of stagnant blood — believed to support detox and overall health.
At BigThum we offer both: classic dry cupping for muscle tension, sports recovery and stress relief, and certified Hijama for traditional wellness, with strict sterilisation protocols.
Every Hijama session uses single-use, sterile cups and blades, and all biohazard waste is disposed of according to UAE health regulations. Our certified Hijama therapists follow proper Sunnah days and points if requested.

At BigThum, dry cupping is AED 180 for 30 minutes. A cupping + massage combo is AED 320 for 60 minutes. Full Hijama (wet cupping) is AED 350 with certified therapists.
Is Hijama safe?
Yes, when performed by certified therapists with sterile, single-use equipment. Our Hijama follows strict UAE health protocols, with single-use blades and cups, and proper biohazard disposal.
Does cupping leave marks?
Yes — circular marks (called “sha”) are normal and fade within 5–10 days. They’re not bruises but blood drawn to the surface, often considered a sign of good detoxification.
How is Hijama different from regular cupping?
Dry cupping uses only suction. Hijama (wet cupping) adds tiny sterile micro-incisions to draw out a small amount of stagnant blood — a Sunnah practice with traditional and physical benefits.
How often should I do cupping?
For muscle tension and recovery: every 2–3 weeks. For Hijama: traditionally on the Sunnah days (17th, 19th and 21st of the lunar month) or every 3 months for general wellness.
