Before and after receiving an acupuncture treatment
To avoid light-headaches or dizziness during or after treatment session, please do not arrive to your appointment with hungry, or right after a large meal. You could keep your routine diet. Try to eat something little bit before you leaving from your office or home if your initial appointment is in late afternoon (such as 5 pm or 6 pm). Also try to avoid excessively fatigued or emotionally upset or shortly after sex, before your treatment.
For better reading of your tongue, please do not brush your tongue on the day of your appointment, not eat or drink anything that may change the color of your tongue within 3 hours prior to your appointment.
It is recommended to wear loose and comfortable clothes. For some patients (for example, pain in certain area), better to wear appropriate clothes to make the upper back or middle back or shoulder or leg area easy to access. Or you may bring shorter or loose clothes to change.
Plan your activities so that after the treatment you can get some rest, or at least not have to be working at top performance. This is especially important for the first few visits for some patients.
