After my first treatment...

It is common to feel relaxed after an acupuncture treatment, even a little spacey, “floaty” or mellow. This usually lifts after an hour or so, but it can last the rest of the day!

It doesn't always happen: sometimes people feel invigorated and lighter. Others feel not very different at all. Acupuncture isn't about the way you tend to feel during or immediately after a treatment, but how a series of treatments enhances your health.

If you do get a distinct experience after your first ever treatment, it might be best to plan ahead, so that you can avoid anything too strenuous, including heavy concentration or using machinery, after the next few treatments.

I have found that as time goes on, these after-effects become less pronounced.
