Before undergoing an acupuncture session, there are several things you should avoid to ensure the treatment is as effective as possible:

  1. Heavy Meals: Eating a large, heavy meal right before your session can make you feel uncomfortable and may affect the body’s energy flow.
  2. Alcohol and Caffeine: Consuming alcohol or excessive caffeine can alter your body’s energy patterns and may interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment.
  3. Intense Physical Activity: Engaging in strenuous exercise immediately before a session can alter your body’s energy flow and muscle condition, potentially affecting the treatment’s efficacy.
  4. Stressful Activities: Try to avoid stressful or emotionally draining activities that could disturb your mental state, as a calm mind can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
