Wet Cupping Therapy
in London, Ontario.
Explore traditional wet cupping, also known as Hijama, at Rose Cupping Therapy. Our London clinic combines experienced practice with careful hygiene, transparent preparation and personalized attention.
What is wet cupping therapy?
Wet cupping, commonly called Hijama, is a traditional form of cupping in which suction is combined with small, superficial openings in the skin.
During the process, cups are first used to create controlled suction on selected treatment areas. After the initial suction phase, the practitioner performs a superficial skin technique and reapplies the cups for a short period.
Because wet cupping involves the skin and a small amount of blood, careful hygiene, appropriate single-client materials and proper handling of treatment supplies are especially important.
At Rose Cupping Therapy, the process is explained before treatment so clients know what to expect and have an opportunity to ask questions.
Dry cupping relies on suction without piercing the skin. Wet cupping includes a controlled, superficial skin technique and therefore requires additional attention to hygiene and aftercare.

Your practitioner explains the process before treatment begins and guides you through each stage.

A traditional practice used for different wellness goals.

Traditional practice. Responsible claims.
Cupping has been practiced for centuries, but traditional use and modern scientific evidence are not the same thing.
Research into cupping continues, and people report different experiences. We believe the responsible approach is to explain the treatment honestly, avoid guaranteeing results and encourage appropriate medical care when needed.
Wet cupping requires serious attention to hygiene.
Because wet cupping involves superficial skin openings and contact with blood, treatment materials and hygiene procedures matter.
Rose Cupping Therapy emphasizes carefully prepared treatment areas and appropriate single-client materials throughout wet cupping appointments.
