PREPARING FOR YOUR FIRST TREATMENT
STAY HYDRATED
Be sure to drink lots of water before and after treatment. When you are dehydrated the body has to work hard to heal and function.
AVOID CAFFEINE
Caffeine impedes the effectivness of acupuncture. Caffeine stimulates the body in ways that interferes with acupuncture from pain receptors to energy levels and the sympathetic nervous system.
TONGUE ASSESSMENT
A tongue reading is part of your first appointment - all you have to do is stick out your tongue! We ask the you do not brush your tongue or eat / drink foods that will stain your tongue to ensure your practitioner gets a valid reading.
AVOID SMOKING
Smoking is another element that impedes acupuncture. Smoking interrupts the blood flow in the body causing restrictions in the vessels. Acupuncture is working to improve blood circulation and therefore smoking would make it challenging on the body.
HOW TO ARRIVE
NOURISHED
Arriving to your appointment nourished and not hungry will allow you to fully rest without the concern of hunger pains.
LOOSE CLOTHING
Wear something you would lounge around the house in. Loose clothing allows for blood flow and is great for the lymphatic system!
WITH FRESH SKIN
It is always best for the skin (our largest organ) to be able to breathe while receiving treatment. Therefore remove make-up, oils and other masking elements on the skin
FRAGRANCE FREE
We are a fragrance free space to respect and honour our guests with allergies and sensitivities. Please do not wear perfume, cologne or strong scented essential oils.
Your appointment will be 45 minutes of relaxation and self care.
