What should I do after a acupuncture treatment?

Many acupuncturist warn patients that after an acupuncture, treatment they may feel what's called an “acupuncture high.” This is often a sensation that can be similar to an alcohol buzz, feeling light-headed, or groggy. With Classical True Acupuncture, this is rarely seen.

After your session with Classical True Acupuncture, you should be clear headed, feel more balanced and have good focus. What actually takes place when patients get an “acupuncture high” is a sedation of the cerebral cortex or the result of moving so much energy very quickly (scattering the energy), although this is rarely understood. In fact, many patients and practitioners have come to expect this as a normal or even beneficial outcome. After Classical True Acupuncture sessions, there is no need to worry about what you should or should not do after a treatment and you should be fine to go about your day as planned.
