What not to do after acupuncture?

There are several things that you should avoid doing after an acupuncture session. Firstly, it is recommended that you do not engage in rigorous physical activities. After acupuncture, your body needs time to heal and restore itself, and strenuous activities can disrupt this process. Instead, take it easy and allow your body to rest and recover.

Secondly, you should avoid consuming alcohol or caffeinated beverages. These substances may interfere with the healing process and can potentially cause dehydration. It's better to drink plenty of water to help flush out the toxins and support your body's natural healing process.

Thirdly, try not to have a heavy meal right after acupuncture. While it's important to nourish your body, a heavy meal can sometimes cause indigestion or discomfort, especially if your body is still in the process of healing after acupuncture. Instead, opt for a light meal or snack.

Lastly, it is advisable not to take a hot bath or sauna right after acupuncture. Heat can potentially interfere with the flow of Qi (energy) in your body that the acupuncture has just balanced. Therefore, it's better to wait a day before taking a hot bath or sauna.
