We are a leading Hijama Profession Association. We are an approved Hijama Therapy training provider by the GRCCT, CMA, IPHM and PWA.
We believe trained Hijama Practitioners can practice Hijama Therapy without the need for a medical license. We believe that Hijama is practiced as a religious therapy, part of Islam, governed by laws specific to Islam.
We regulate our members to ensure high standards in the Hijama industry, and have strict disciplinary procedures in place.
Our main course is an Accredited Higher Diploma in Hijama Therapy (Level 5) in the UK.

It is also one of the largest Professional Therapists Association Worldwide and once you become a qualified Hijama Therapist, you can become a member.
UK and International Graduates of Simply Hijama can become members of the CMA (Complementary Medical Association).
