Information for patients:
Good advice when you are having an acupuncture session:
Before the session it is best:
- Not to be hungry
- Not to have eaten a major meal recently
- Not to have consumated any alcohol or smoked any cigarettes
- Not to have taken a hot bath
- Not to have engaged in any exhausting physical activity
After the session:
- Remember that the perma needles fall out by themselves after 2-7 days (sometimes longer)
- The perma needles must be removed if you are going for an examination which involves a scanning.
- Activate your perma needles using the small magnet twice a day
- Take note if your ear(s) become red and/or irritated while the perma needles are in place. In case of the above, please contact me as soon as possible.
- Try to stay calm and rested
- Avoid physical exertion
- Avoid being affected by the cold
- Do not take a bath for a few hours after the treatment
- Drink plenty of water
- Seek medical attention if you experience chest pains and/or difficulty breathing after a session of acupuncture on the chest
