Hijama and cupping safety in Marrakech
Understand the precautions, hygiene questions and aftercare to discuss before a hijama or cupping session.
Before your session
Discuss your health history, skin conditions and all medicines with the practitioner. If you are pregnant, take blood thinners, have anaemia or a bleeding disorder, seek medical advice before considering cupping. Never stop prescribed medicine to have a session.
Hygiene & consent
Ask the centre to confirm its hygiene protocol, equipment and practitioner training. Wet cupping involves breaking the skin and requires sterile, single-use instruments and appropriate infection-control precautions.
After your session
Temporary circular marks, tenderness or irritation can occur. Wet cupping also carries risks of bleeding and infection. Ask for written aftercare instructions; seek medical attention for persistent bleeding, fever or worsening redness or pain.
