Hijama (Wet Cupping) in Brooklyn, NY

At Soul Detox® in Brooklyn, we specialize in Wet Cupping, also known as Hijama—an ancient therapeutic practice that removes toxins, enhances circulation, and supports both physical and spiritual healing.

Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic pain, spiritual imbalance, or simple fatigue, our personalized Hijama sessions are designed to help you reset, inside and out.

What is Hijama?

Hijama (Wet Cupping) is a holistic healing method that involves applying suction cups to the skin, then making small incisions to draw out stagnant blood, toxins, and negative energy.

Practiced for thousands of years across cultures—from ancient China to the Islamic world—Hijama is now recognized as a safe, powerful therapy for detox and restoration.

At Soul Detox®, we carry this tradition forward in a clean, modern setting. Our trained practitioners guide each session with care, precision, and spiritual integrity.

Benefits of Wet Cupping

Hijama isn’t just physical—it’s energetic. Clients come to us for help with everything from muscle stiffness to spiritual afflictions. Common benefits include:

  • Deep Detoxification: Flushes toxins and stagnant blood from the body

  • Pain Relief: Eases chronic pain, tight muscles, and inflammation

  • Improved Circulation: Boosts blood flow and oxygen delivery

  • Spiritual Clearing: Supports release of negative energy, including Sihr (black magic), Ayn (evil eye), and Hasad (envy)

  • Immune Support: Strengthens natural defenses by removing energetic and physical blockages

Many clients report feeling lighter, clearer, and more energized—physically and emotionally—within hours of their session.

Our Hijama Sessions

We offer a full range of toxin-pulling treatments—from intensive, full-body detoxes to gentle introductory sessions. All are performed in a clean, calm, and spiritually safe environment.

1. Elite Bundle

Duration: 60 minutes

The most comprehensive session we offer. This full detox package includes wet cupping, dry cupping, therapeutic massage, red light therapy, premium oils, and your choice of a facial or back scrub. Ideal for those seeking a complete energetic reset and deep physical rejuvenation.

2. Standard High-End Session (Most Popular)

Duration: 35 minutes

Our most booked treatment. This session blends wet and dry cupping with gliding massage, organic oils, and red light therapy for a powerful yet balanced detox. Perfect for regular clients or those ready to move beyond the basics.

3. Metaphysical / Ruqya Hijama

Duration: 30 minutes

A spiritually focused session that integrates Hijama with Ruqya and Quranic recitation. Addresses spiritual disturbances such as Sihr (black magic), Ayn (evil eye), Hasad (envy), and Jinn-related issues. Best for those experiencing spiritual heaviness or energetic blockages.

4. Dry Cupping

Duration: 30 minutes

No incisions—just suction. This technique stimulates circulation and releases muscular tension. A good option for athletes, busy professionals, or anyone seeking quick, localized relief.

5. Basic Detox Session

Duration: 20 minutes

A light detox using dry cups only. Ideal for those short on time or looking for a gentle introduction to cupping therapy.

6. My First Hijama Session (New Clients Only)

Duration: 25 minutes

Never done Hijama before? Start here. This special intro session includes up to 3 cups of wet cupping and is designed to give new clients a safe, effective, and spiritually grounded first experience.

Please note: This session is only for first-time clients and is strictly limited to 3 cups. No exceptions.

New to Hijama?

If you’re curious but unsure where to start, the My First Hijama Session is your best entry point. It’s short, affordable, and gently detoxifying.

From there, most clients move into our Standard High-End Session or Elite Bundle for deeper healing.

What to Expect

Your session begins with a short consultation. After cleansing the skin, cups are placed on targeted areas to create suction. For wet cupping sessions, small sterile incisions are made to draw out stagnant blood and toxins.

The room is private, and the environment is calm. All tools are sterilized. Every treatment is performed by trained professionals who prioritize your safety, comfort, and dignity.

Aftercare & Recovery

Hijama is low-risk but can produce some temporary effects:

  • Mild tenderness at cupping sites

  • Circular skin marks (not bruises)—fade within a week

  • Possible fatigue or light-headedness post-session

We provide clear aftercare instructions and are available for follow-up support. If you’re on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a bleeding disorder, please consult your doctor first.

My husband and I had dry cupping performed. We had a great experience. Mohammad and the staff are very knowledgeable and took their time in explaining things to us. The atmosphere is serene and its very clean. I have suggested this center to a few friends and I will be returning soon. The dry cupping removed my lower back pain. One day I will find the courage (iA) to do wet cupping

This was my first time doing dry cupping and I feel really good. I was looking to do it for a really long time and I could’ve have been more happier that I did it. The procedure and benefits were all explained to me and I appreciate the service that was given. Now I feel as if there’s no inflammation in my back anymore and I would definitely recommend doing it. I will be looking to do more sessions in the future and it’s not too far from where I live

I recently tried micro-needling treatment at Soul Detox and I am already starting to see amazing results!
The procedure itself was quick and comfortable, the Aesthetician made sure it wasn’t painful for me. My skin is feeling smoother, and I can already notice a brighter, more even tone. I definitely recommend. Thank you

This place is too good with the amount of services they have. 😍 I received such an amazing massage therapy today and feel so rejuvenated. i usually get a hydrafacial which instantly leaves me glowing. Nada does a great job explaining the treatment as she does it. I cannot thank Nada enough and looking forward to my next treatment!!

Flew all the way from upstate NY to get my hijama done here. The whole atmosphere is healing. After the service was over, I received a date and honey water. The red light therapy kept me warm during the session. Even the bathroom seat there is heated(best experience in my life). After the treatment, I went for a nice walk by the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and shoreline promenade. I definitely recommend this spa to everyone.

I've been meaning to write this review for a while now, so far I've had 2 facials at Soul Detox and although I've had many different facials in the past this was by far my favorite and I will try to explain why! The esthetician is amazing and really targets all your skin concerns, she does a great job trying to inform you as well. I didn't write a review the first time because I only did a dermaplane but I was so impressed by the custom facial (2nd visit) specifically because i had major breakouts prior to coming in and I kid you not when I left and even early enough as the next day you could visibly see so much of a difference in my skin. Normally I have to go to a few sessions to even notice my skin improving. After 1 facial my skin was visibly brighter, cleaner, and it was my first facial in a long time that resulted in such progress so quickly. It's very difficult to trust people with your skin but I would and have recommended this place to all my friends

This morning was my first time at Soul Detox and it will not be my last. The technician was very kind and made me feel relaxed. The wet-cupping was great, my neck and upperback feel much better and less tense and painful. I am looking forward to coming again at least once every month.

Came in for Hijama(wet cupping) for severe sciatica. The place is so beautiful and the aromatherapy relaxes you right away! My specialist Nada had great energy and helped me feel comfortable. Her hands were so gentle I barely felt anything. Thank you guys so much for helping me find pain relief I was unable to find anywhere else! I appreciate you!

First experience here and it was such a treat! Gorgeous, clean facility and incredibly friendly, welcoming staff. Did a session of abdominal lymphatic drainage and I walked out feeling so much lighter and energetic. I will be coming back sooner than later. So many more services I want to try!!! Love the variety 🙂

I am not someone who will give 5* rating easily, and if you see my other reviews, you will know why!

I came to this spot based on word or mouth and drove 70 minutes. I had pre-booked an appointment with Mr Widdi, whom I am told is the person to get your Hajama / wet cupping by.

I have been to many spas throughout the world, and I would say that based on the quality of services they provide, it deserves nothing less than a 5-star rating.

The products used while cupping are just top-notch. You can feel the difference on your skin. All natural and 💯 organic.

I think the people here are super talented at doing wet cupping and skilled at ensuring the person coming here leaves relaxed 😌

I would say if you're thinking about cupping for the first time or a regular at cupping. Come here and thank me later.

Let me tell you this was such an amazing experience, most relaxing day for me. It felt like I was on vacation laying in the sun I didn’t want it to end. God bless the massage therapist Nada her hands are amazing the best service I’ve had in a while I truly recommend her if you need a relaxed and chill massage to release all of your stress. I walked out very reborn.

Updated review for 2024:
I have returned to Soul Detox had my session with Nada again this time for Hijma (after learning all the benefits that come with it) oh my lord this is LIFE CHANGING. I had extremely back pain due to my life style and needed to try hijma and I'm so glad I did! I feel like a whole new person and all the weight and stress are now gone. I truly highly recommend everyone that feel the same to try Hijma you won't be disappointed. I feel rejuvenated and unstoppable, I will be going back for more hijma now after this amazing experience. My favorite place now!

So happy to have found Soul Detox. The staff were very welcoming, professional, and attentive to my mom and I. The environment is rich with culture and very clean. When I finished my session, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders (literally… because that’s where I needed cupping most). Don’t hesitate and just go for it, they’ll answer all your questions. The perfect ✨selfcare✨ that we all need. I look forward to going back!

I’ve been to Soul Detox twice and have already booked future appointments. The massage therapist, Nada is AMAZINGGG. I did a 30 min scalp massage before and had a 1 hr therapeutic massage today. She makes u feel extremely comfortable and is amazing at what she does.. i felt like i melted into the massage table, I was so relaxed during and after. She focused on the main body points where I feel pain/tension and i felt great afterwards. I’ll be going in for Hijama next. I CAN’T recommend Soul Detox enough!!❤️❤️

This place will have you walking out of there feeling like a million bucks. Professional service in everything they offer. Very knowledgeable. Extremely clean and neat and organized. They offer everything you need to relieve stress and improve your overall health. Best place for wet cupping (hijama). The massages are A+. Back scrubs are amazing and the facials are elite.

This is life changing ! The staff were AMAZING! I was hesitant at first but they SURPASSED my expectations! It’s clean and the office is beautiful ! I was provided a walk through along with an explanation of the history of cupping. I suffered from severe migraines and after the second session They were totally gone…And no, it doesn’t hurt ! It’s actually satisfying. I’m sorry but any negative reviews about this page just means you have to work on yourself internally. Just do some wet cupping and cleanse that soul, that’s a great way to start . Thank you Soul Detox !!😅❤️🙏🏽

Soul Detox is an absolute gem! The service provided is truly excellent, and the overall experience is incredibly relaxing. The cupping treatment worked wonders in relieving the pain in my back, and the massages are simply fantastic. I've been a repeat customer, and each visit has been consistently great. I highly recommend Soul Detox to anyone in need of a rejuvenating and soothing experience.

FAQ About Wet Cupping / Hijama in Brooklyn

Dry cupping uses suction without making incisions, while wet cupping (Hijama) involves small incisions to draw out stagnant blood and toxins. Wet cupping provides a more thorough detox.

The number of sessions depends on your individual condition and goals. Many clients experience benefits after just one session, while others may need multiple sessions spaced 10–14 days apart for optimal results.

Yes, it can be combined with our other therapies such as Red Light Therapy, Therapeutic Massage, and Aroma Therapy to enhance healing and relaxation. Inform your practitioner about any treatments you’re receiving to ensure a coordinated approach.

The process is generally not painful. You may feel a mild pinching sensation during the suction and slight discomfort during the incisions, but most clients report it being tolerable and relaxing overall.

Avoid eating heavy meals 1–2 hours before your session, stay hydrated, and wear loose clothing for comfort. Aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure a smooth recovery.

Individuals with severe anemia, those taking blood thinners, or those with serious skin conditions should avoid this treatment. Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have underlying health concerns.
