Headaches and migraines are among the most disruptive health issues affecting daily life. In Prophetic Medicine (Tibb an-Nabawi), authentic Hadiths confirm the profound effectiveness of Hijama (cupping) in relieving these pains.
At Centre Najah for Medical Hijama in Nador, we offer specialized Hijama sessions targeting headaches and migraines, following the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) combined with modern medical safety standards.
Evidence for Hijama in Treating Migraines from the Sunnah
Imam Al-Bukhari dedicated specific chapters in his Sahih collection to this topic, such as “The Chapter on Hijama for Migraines and Headaches”, “Hijama on the Head”, and “Hijama for Disease”.
- Hadith of Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him):
“The Prophet (PBUH) was cupped on his head for a unilateral headache (migraine) while he was in a state of Ihram.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari) This Hadith is a clear text authorizing Hijama as a direct treatment for migraines (Shaqiqa).
- Hijama on the Head:
Abdullah ibn Buhaina reported: “The Prophet (PBUH) was cupped on the middle of his head…” (Sahih Al-Bukhari). The Prophet (PBUH) frequently performed Hijama on the center of his head, a spot often referred to as ‘Umm Mughith’ (The Savior) due to its immense benefits in drawing out toxins and stagnant blood from the head.
- Hijama as a General Cure:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “Indeed, the best of remedies you have is Hijama.” (Sahih Al-Bukhari)
How Does Hijama Treat Headaches and Migraines?
Applying Hijama on the head and neck functions to:
- Stimulate Blood Circulation: Removes blood stasis in the vessels supplying the brain.
- Extract Toxins: Draws out cellular waste and free radicals that trigger nerve irritation.
- Relieve Pressure & Tension: Significantly reduces the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
- Relax Muscles: Neck and shoulder muscle spasms are primary causes of tension headaches. Hijama effectively releases these knots.
