Please show up on time, 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to allow time for paperwork (intake will be in depth).
Eat a meal 1-2 hours before your appointment. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day.
Limit caffeine intake, as this can make you more sensitive to the acupuncture needles
Wear loose, comfortable clothing with sleeves or legs that can be easily rolled up or removed.
If you would like a “tongue reading”- Do not eat or drink brightly colored foods (or coffee!) that may stain or alter the color of your mouth and tongue.
What to Expect
Patients often report increased relaxation and improved sleep immediately following treatment, which are welcome "side effects". Because a state of deep relaxation is so common, it is advisable to avoid any strenuous or stressful activities after your first treatment.
Frequency
The effectiveness will increase with frequency. Your initial treatments will only last for 24-72 hours; with each visit "lasting" longer and longer. We cluster visits in the beginning (1-2 visit per week) so you can begin to see results sooner. After progress is notable, we space treatments out further or go to a "maintenance" schedule depending on the condition.
