It is recommended to take a shower and be in a state of wudu (ablution).
Clients should wear comfortable clothes. Hijama is usually performed on the back.
After
The round marks usually disappear within 24 to 48 hours depending on the healing process.
Scabs will appear around the hijama area and will cause some itching. It is recommended to apply vitamin E oil, olive oil, coconut oil, or black seed oil to help with the healing process. Do not scratch or itch the area where the hijama was performed.
Hijama can make clients feel very relaxed and sleepy. It is important to stay active for at least 2 hours after Hijama

Avoid consuming milk, cheese, or other dairy products after Hijama (to help with detoxification).
