SCHEDULE YOUR
APPOINTMENTS CAREFULLY
Schedule your appointments during times
of low stress. Avoid scheduling it close to
a time where you need to do something
very strenuous. Don’t schedule sessions
between two stressful activities. You might
have trouble with trying to get relaxed
during your treatment if you do.
5
GET REST BEFORE AND
AFTER A TREATMENT
Make sure you get some rest prior to and
after your acupuncture treatment. Not
only will the acupuncture treatment be
more beneficial if you are relaxed, it is easier
for your acupuncturist to do their job
well. Just lay back and enjoy the session.
You might be busy, but following an
acupuncture appointment, you need resting
time. Acupuncture is supposed to relax
and restore you mentally and physically,
and this can’t happen if your body
doesn’t rest a little. It is important to rest
at least two hours immediately following a
treatment; then, get at least eight hours of
sleep that night.
6
COMPLETE YOUR
ACUPUNCTURE SESSIONS
You should make sure to go to all of your
acupuncture sessions until they are done.
Just as with prescription drugs, stopping
before the treatment is complete
is ill-advised. You may see great results
sooner than you expect but this is not an
excuse to finish up early. Be sure to attend
all of your scheduled sessions for
best results.
