5 Top Tips to Get The Most Out of Your Acupuncture Session

A few lil things YOU can do prepare for maximum benefit during your treatment:

1. Eat Before coming in.
   
   Acupuncture works with qi (energy), and if you are hungry there is less qi to work with. Having a meal approximately 2 hours before your appointment, or at least a snack, can maximise your treatment results.
   
   

2. Be hydrated.
   
   Drinking plenty of water before and after your treatment can help improve circulation, flush out any toxins, and prevent post-treatment fatigue. Hydration is especially important for cosmetic acupuncture as we needle the face and the best results happen when the skin is hydrated and plump.
   
   

3. Avoid coffee for at least 1 hour before.
   
   Caffeine (coffee, tea, and energy drinks) is a nervous system stimulant, which can counteract the actions of acupuncture. It also can block some of the pain relieving effects of acupuncture and reduce the efficacy of your treatment.
   
   

4. Wear comfortable clothing.
   
   Loose comfortable clothing is best so that you can relax during treatment. Often acupuncture points on the legs are arms are chosen, so you may need to roll up your sleeves or pants. Proper sheets and coverings are always used to ensure your comfort.
   
   

5. Arrive a little early to your appointment.
   
   There is nothing worse than rushing to your acupuncture appointment! Try to arrive ahead of time so you have time to separate from the day and de-stress before your treatment. Hot Tip: avoid scheduling anything immediately before or after your treatment so you don’t have to rush.
