Post Hijamah:
- To get optimal health benefits, walk for 20-30 minutes.
- In case of dizzy or light headed, lie down right away and raise your legs. Slowly stand up after 15 minutes if you feel better.
- May eat and drink in an hour.
- Refrain from showering immediately and don’t scrub the wound site for several days. Some itchiness and skin irritation is expected. Scratching should be avoided as it will contribute to scaring or infection.
- Cupping marks normally fade within a week, depending on skin type. The small shallow scratches that are necessary to extract the dead blood cells may take a few weeks to heal. In some cases faded tiny lines of scarring may persist.
- Some people may feel very sleepy after Hijamah, this is normal, so get plenty of sleep, drink plenty of water and wake up fresh.
