How should I prepare for my first treatment?

• It is really important to eat something at least two hours before your appointment as it is not a good idea to get a treatment on an empty stomach or a very full stomach.

• Please wear loose, comfortable fitting clothing where you can easily roll up your sleeves and pant legs.

 

How many treatments will I need?​

The length, number and frequency of treatments varies from person to person and depends on many factors such as the type of condition being treated, your age, the condition of your health and how you respond to treatment. Eastern medicine employs therapeutic modalities which require multiple treatments. Treatment is generally very gentle and gradual. For an acute condition, sometimes one or two treatments are all that is necessary. If a condition is more chronic or if your overall health is poor, several treatments may be necessary.
