HIJAMA NATION AIMS & OBJECTIVES To teach all Muslims about Hijama Cupping Therapy. Muslims around the world should know about the Sunnah of this natural healing art. We would like to make it fully accessible to everyone, both as training and practice, as well as a treatment. Everyone has the right to heal from sickness and feel healthy and strong.  To have Hijama Cupping Therapy recognized and accepted in its own right. It does not fall under the category of straight Massage or Acupuncture/Cupping Therapy. It is an effective, healing and powerful complementary therapy exclusively practiced by Muslims (following the religion of Islam) globally. It is legal in UK, much of Europe, Africa, Asia, Middle East, South Asia and Far East.  We believe that it is our civil and religious right to practice Hijama Cupping Therapy as it is a faith based therapy. We believe that Wet Cupping Therapy should not only be practiced by licensed Physicians or Acupuncturists, but trained Hijama Practitioners too.  Just as Jewish Mohels (Ritual Circumcisers) are exempt from obtaining Medical Licensure in order to practice male circumcision on religious grounds, we would like Muslim Hijama Practitioners to be exempt from obtaining Medical or Acupuncture Licensure on religious grounds.  To promote awareness and educate the general Public about Hijama Cupping Therapy and its health benefits through educational workshops, internet and various Health Institutions.  We would like to introduce and establish a National Training and Certification Course for Hijama Practitioners in collaboration with the State DPH/Medical & Acupuncture Boards. Our aim is to have it Nationally approved and accredited. We would like to train Licensed Physicians, Acupuncturists, Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Nurse Practitioners and others medical/complementary Therapy professionals. Also, we aim to train practicing and responsible Muslim persons who would like to be trained and certified as a Hijama Practitioner according to their faith. This is so that we can set up and maintain the highest of health and safety standards and best practice policies and procedures. We do not just want to have “in-house training” like the Jewish Mohels have in Synagogues or through Rabbis. Rather, we intend to have structured training and certification courses in line with other nationally accredited bodywork courses eg;  Physiology & Anatomy & CPR First Aid Training  Acupuncture & Hijama points  Prophetic medicine & Natural Islamic Healing, Theory & History  Best Business Practices & Policies & Procedures  Practical training in Dry/Massage/Wet Cupping techniques, coursework, case studies, clinical training and exams.
