Post-Treatment Advice

It is a normal response if you feel more tired after your treatment.

We recommend taking it easy and to avoid doing strenuous activities for the rest of the day after your treatment.

It is recommended to drink plenty of warm water to help your body flush out toxins released during your treatment.

If you experience skin redness after acupuncture, we can suggest drinking peppermint tea to help your body clear it sooner.

Small bruises, lumps, tingling, numbness or pain may occur over certain points after acupuncture. These are normal reactions that usually clear within a few days.

Cupping and scrubbing will leave temporary skin marks over treated areas.

Some people may experience these symptoms for a short time after certain treatments. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please contact your practitioner for further advice.

Changes after treatment are signs that your body has responded. When starting a new course of treatment, some people may temporarily feel worse before they feel better, also known as a ‘healing crisis’. However, this effect shouldn’t last for more than a couple of days after your last treatment.

If you have any worries, simply call your clinic to speak to your practitioner.
