HI Shifa Clinic was founded by husband and wife practitioners, Hamza and Ishrat, after graduating from Middlesex University. With over 10 years of clinical experience, our approach bridges modern and traditional medicine.
We take the symptoms, test results and diagnoses you already understand from a Western medical perspective and translate them into the framework of traditional medicine. This helps us build a clearer picture of your individual health and create a treatment plan specifically for you.
This is why we can work with such a wide range of health concerns. Conditions that Western medicine classifies as separate may, from a traditional medicine perspective, share similar underlying patterns or root causes. Rather than treating the diagnostic label alone, we identify and treat the underlying pattern as it presents in you.
Two people with the same Western diagnosis may therefore receive very different treatment, while two people with seemingly unrelated conditions may share a similar traditional medicine pattern. This is what makes treatment genuinely personalised.
Today, HI Shifa Clinic operates primarily online, allowing us to work with patients in the UK and internationally. Consultations are conducted online, with personalised herbal prescriptions and treatment guidance provided remotely. For patients requiring physical therapies such as acupuncture or cupping, home visits are available in selected areas.

With this information provided in advance, we can make the most of your 30-minute consultation.
We create a treatment plan tailored to you, which may include a bespoke herbal medicine prescription, dietary recommendations, lifestyle guidance, self-care advice and natural therapies such as acupuncture or hijama.
Where herbal medicine is prescribed, it is prepared and posted directly to your home with clear instructions on how to take it.
We review your progress, monitor how you are responding and adjust your prescription or treatment plan when needed, with ongoing support throughout your recovery.
From digestive problems and skin conditions to persistent pain, fertility concerns and children’s health, treatment is personalised to you rather than based on the condition alone.
Many long-term health concerns begin in childhood. We work alongside families with personalised herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle advice, and ongoing guidance for digestive issues, recurrent illnesses, skin conditions, sleep concerns and more.

Real experiences from patients who chose HI Shifa Clinic.
“I used to have regular headaches and backache. I went to HI Shifa Clinic and had a consultation with Hamza prior to having blood cupping. After having blood cupping done on my head and back, I haven't had recurring headaches or backache, and it's been over two years now.
I would highly recommend HI Shifa Clinic. They are very professional and polite, and they make the atmosphere so comfortable and relaxing.”
“I first visited HI Shifa Clinic as I was really suffering with regular migraines and headaches. Since having acupuncture, this seems to have pretty much gone away. Ishrat also asked me about other aspects of my health and has been helping me with digestive issues too. Before, I was extremely bloated after every meal, and this has reduced massively.
At first I was nervous about having acupuncture, but Ishrat put me at ease and is really friendly. I would recommend this clinic to anyone suffering with migraines, IBS or other issues.”
“I have been taking my dad to the clinic for around three months and we are very pleased with the service provided and the results we can already see in this short period of treatment.
My dad had been having constipation and urination problems for over 20 years and had never found treatment. Since starting treatment at HI Shifa Clinic, we have had weekly appointments where my dad has been advised on how to change his diet to help his condition, alongside regular acupuncture sessions, which have caused a drastic change in his day-to-day life.
Highly recommended for others who are also facing health problems. Excellent service provided by highly experienced individuals.”
“I had a few sessions with Ishrat whilst pregnant, as I was well past my due date. The treatment was very relaxing, which was surprising as I was really nervous. She was absolutely fantastic, kind, reassuring and patient, and gave me lots of great advice! My son was born not too long after I started having my acupuncture treatments. Thank you Ishrat.”
