Hydrate yourself.

If your appt is in the later part of the day you want to drink regularly throughout the day prior to coming.  If you have a morning appt, make sure you kept up on hydration the previous day, and quench your thirst the morning of your appt.  This will help your body be more equipped to respond to the treatment, and help you be more comfortable during your treatment.  Most people find it helpful to have a water bottle with them throughout the day that they can refill as needed.

​

What to Wear.

Loose-fitting, comfortable clothing.  Bringing a pair of comfortable shorts to change into is a good option too.

​

Nourishment.

Eat enough before your appt that you won't be hungry during, but not so much that you will be too full.  Either case could interfere with your comfort and with the flow of energy.

 

Activity.

Try to take it easy after your treatment.  If you plan to have a workout, sauna, cold plunge, or any other exertion the same day, try to schedule it before your acupuncture appt. to extend the benefits of your treatment by giving it more time to be assimilated.
