Appointment Preparation & Aftercare

  • Your initial session includes a detailed consultation, pulse and tongue diagnosis (a TCM technique), and a customized acupuncture treatment. Followed by a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Plan for about 120 minutes.

  • We recommend eating a light meal 1-2 hours beforehand, staying hydrated, and wearing loose, comfortable clothing. Avoid caffeine or alcohol before your appointment.

  • Most patients feel relaxed and refreshed. Some experience immediate relief, while others may notice results over several sessions. It's also normal to feel sleepy or energized.

  • Side effects are rare and mild. You may notice slight bruising or temporary soreness where needles were inserted. These usually subside within a day or two.

  • This depends on your condition and health goals. Acute issues may improve in a few sessions, while chronic conditions may require ongoing care. We’ll customize a plan for you.
