How to Prepare for Your Acupuncture Treatment

  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your elbows and knees.
  • Eat a light meal at least two hours before your appointment.
  • Avoid alcohol on the day of your treatment.
  • Please refrain from wearing strong scents, including perfumes, colognes, and scented oils.
  • Do not brush your tongue on the day of treatment—tongue diagnosis is an important tool in Traditional Chinese Medicine. You may brush your teeth as usual, just avoid brushing your tongue.
  • Relax during your session—many patients feel deeply calm and rested.
  • After treatment, avoid stimulating activities for at least a couple of hours. It’s best to skip exercise for the rest of the day to allow your body to fully benefit.
