Is there anything I should know before I try acupuncture?

Acupuncture is suitable for almost everyone, including children and the elderly.

However, you should not receive acupuncture on an empty stomach, when intoxicated, or if unusually weak and debilitated.

Don’t scrape or brush the coating off your tongue, and avoid eating or drinking things that could change the color of your tongue (coffee, juice, gum) for a couple of hours before your session.

Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes.

Bring a list of the current medications and supplements you are taking.

Come 15 minutes early to complete your patient information and health history forms.
