How to Prepare for Acupuncture Treatment



Acupuncture can be a soothing, glorious treatment as long as you ready yourself with a relaxed nature and open mind. You can effectively prepare for acupuncture treatment by first picking an acupuncturist you trust and then following a few simple tips.









1


Get yourself a trustworthy acupuncturist by asking your friends, doctors, massage therapist or health food stores for a referral.





2


Relax. Let your body be embraced by the acupuncture table as you lay flat on your back or stomach and wait for the treatment to begin.





3


Breathe. Inhale and exhale in deep, slow, rhythmic breaths.





4


Close your eyes.





5


Envision something gorgeous. This can include anything from a gently rolling sea to all your pain and suffering escaping your pores with each pressure point from a needle.





6


Use the pulsating points to bring you tranquility and soothing relief. Once the first needle is stuck in a pressure point, you will instantly begin to feel release and relief. Embrace it and go with the flow.








Tips & Warnings
