Dry Cupping
Gentle suction therapy for pain relief, muscle tension, and improved circulation — brought to your home anywhere in Nairobi.
What is dry cupping?
Dry cupping places sterile cups on the skin and uses gentle suction to lift the tissue beneath. Unlike wet Hijama, no incisions are made — the therapy works entirely through the drawing action of the cups, which encourages blood flow to tight or fatigued areas.
Sessions typically focus on the back, shoulders, and neck, but cups can be placed wherever tension has built up. Most clients describe the sensation as a firm, warming pull that eases into deep relaxation.
Who is it for?
Dry cupping suits people dealing with everyday muscle tension, desk-work stiffness, sports recovery, and general fatigue. It is also a good first step for anyone curious about cupping who prefers to start without wet Hijama.

Dry Cupping — common questions
Does dry cupping hurt?
No. Most people feel a firm pulling sensation that settles into warmth and relaxation within a minute or two. Suction strength is adjusted to your comfort, and you can ask for it to be reduced at any point.
How long do the cup marks last?
The circular marks typically fade within three to ten days. They are caused by blood drawn to the surface, not bruising from impact, and they are a normal part of the therapy.
How is dry cupping different from wet Hijama?
Dry cupping uses suction only — no incisions and no blood is drawn. It is gentler and a good starting point; wet Hijama adds light, superficial incisions and is the classical Sunnah method.
How often can I have dry cupping?
It depends on your condition and how you respond. Many clients book every few weeks for tension and recovery, but we advise on frequency during your consultation rather than putting everyone on a fixed schedule.
