For acupuncture treatments, you should wear clothes that are not tight and form-fitting like yoga pants. We recommend relaxed-fitting garments such as wide-legged pants and a simple top. A lot of good acupuncture points are located at the knees and elbow creases, and we need access. Unless you can easily adjust your cuff length, please leave the tight yoga pants at home.
Also, it’s better to avoid wearing makeup, strong perfumes, and a lot of jewelry. The reasons pertain to access to the acupuncture points and for diagnostic purposes. At the beginning and end of every treatment, you can expect your acupuncturist to take your pulse at both wrists. Also, there are acupuncture points located in the ears, the chest, and the wrists.
When choosing what to wear to acupuncture, be clean and comfortable.
