Question 1

Which cup size is MOST appropriate for cupping over small, bony, or contoured areas such as the face or joints?

Accepted Answer

Small (size 1–2) cups that conform better to irregular contours

Answer

Small cups (size 1–2) are used on areas with irregular contours, small surface areas, or bony prominences because they seal better and reduce the risk of unintended pressure on adjacent tissues.

Question 2

After removing cups following wet hijama, the standard wound-care protocol includes:

Accepted Answer

Cleansing with antiseptic, applying a barrier ointment, and covering with a sterile dressing

Answer

Post-wet-hijama wounds must be cleansed with antiseptic, dressed with a protective ointment (e.g., black seed oil or petroleum-based barrier), and covered to prevent infection and promote healing.

Question 3

The Sunnah point 'Kahil' is located at approximately which anatomical position?

Accepted Answer

Upper back at the base of the neck between the shoulder blades (C7–T1 area)

Answer

The Kahil (or Al-Kahil) is one of the most cited Sunnah hijama points, located at the upper back at the junction of the cervical and thoracic spine, roughly between the shoulder blades.

Question 4

During a hijama session, a client suddenly feels dizzy, pale, and sweaty. The practitioner should FIRST:

Accepted Answer

Remove all cups immediately, lay the client flat, and monitor vital signs

Answer

These are signs of a vasovagal response; the immediate priority is to remove all cups, lay the client flat with legs elevated if possible, and monitor for recovery.

Question 5

Which of the following describes 'needle cupping' (acupuncture-cupping) as a combined modality?

Accepted Answer

Placing acupuncture needles at points, then applying cups over the needles

Answer

In combined acupuncture-cupping (needle cupping), acupuncture needles are inserted at the treatment points first, and then cups are placed over the needles to enhance the therapeutic effect.
