Try not to have a big meal within an hour of your appointment as digestion will alter the pattern of your pulse. Also avoid alcohol on the day of treatment, and avoid food and drinks that colour your tongue immediately before your appointment. Including coffee!
After your treatment it is recommended that you refrain from drinking alcohol or taking recreational drugs on the day of treatment, as both can impair the efficacy of the acupuncture, and sometimes cause light-headedness or excessive lethargy. This will usually pass after a good night’s sleep.
Also, it is advisable to not do vigorous aerobic exercise after your treatment as this will mask the effect of the treatment and stress your body.
