Acupuncture Treatment Notice for Patients

According to the Contraindications in "Huangdi Neijing"

Dear Patient,

Welcome to our clinic. To ensure the effectiveness and safety of your acupuncture treatment, please carefully read and follow these important guidelines:

 

Pre-Treatment Considerations

  1. Avoid Treatment During Intense Emotional States:

    • Do not receive acupuncture when you are extremely angry, sad, frightened, or overly excited. Emotional stability is crucial for the effectiveness of the treatment.

  2. Avoid Treatment on an Empty Stomach:

    • Ensure you have eaten a light meal before your appointment. Receiving acupuncture on an empty stomach may lead to dizziness or fainting.

  3. Avoid Treatment When Fatigued or Overexerted:

    • If you are extremely tired or have engaged in strenuous physical activity, please rest before undergoing acupuncture.

  4. Avoid Treatment After Alcohol Consumption:

    • Do not consume alcohol before your acupuncture session. Alcohol can interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment and increase the risk of adverse reactions.

  5. Avoid Treatment During Pregnancy:

    • If you are pregnant, inform your practitioner. Certain acupuncture points are contraindicated during pregnancy and can pose a risk to you and your baby.

 

Post-Treatment Care

  1. Rest and Hydrate:

    • After your session, rest and drink plenty of water. This helps the body to heal and integrate the effects of the treatment.

  2. Avoid Extreme Temperatures:

    • Refrain from exposing yourself to extreme cold or heat immediately after treatment, such as hot baths, saunas, or very cold environments.

  3. Avoid Heavy Physical Activity:

    • Do not engage in heavy exercise or strenuous activities for at least a few hours after your acupuncture session.

  4. Monitor Your Condition:

    • Pay attention to how you feel after the treatment. If you experience any unusual symptoms or discomfort, contact your practitioner immediately.

  5. Follow Practitioner’s Advice:

    • Adhere to any additional instructions or advice given by your practitioner to enhance the therapeutic effects of acupuncture.

 

Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to supporting your health and well-being through the ancient art of acupuncture.

 

Warm regards,

Body by nature team
