Even if you don't feel much you are getting benefit from treatment. Acupuncture is most effective after a series of treatments over a period of time. The Detoxification Process During detoxification, your body filters out the toxins that you have been storing up.
Blood circulation begins to improve.
Sometimes during the detoxification period you may feel achy, not sleep well, be cranky, or even have drug dreams. Please let the acupuncturist know if you have any of these symptoms so that additional acupuncture points can be added to your treatment. How to Receive Maximum Benefit From Treatment Treatment time should be used to sit quietly, relax and reflect or meditate. Do not smoke cigarettes or drink coffee in the half hour before and after treatment. Let the acupuncturist know if you have any health problems.
