Most of us acknowledge that the therapies of Acupuncture or Moxibustion bring us many benefits in health. As TCM Practitioner, we chose Acupuncture points which are relevant to the meridians and internal organs for the execution of Acupuncture or Moxibustion remedy. As a result, it helps to mitigate the illness and body aches besides fine tuning the unbalance force of Yin Yang inside the body. Hence, we will build up a healthy body eventually.
Things to take note of are shown as below:
- Avoid exhausted condition or lack of sleep before we do the therapies.
- Avoid turn up with a hungry stomach before we do the therapies.

- Avoid turn up with a hungry stomach before we do the therapies.
When we feel hungry, we are lack of energy. Therefore, when we undergo the therapies, we should not make it a high intensity tuning of the needle during Acupuncture or should avoid high temperature burning sensation of Moxibustion, in order to avoid fainted issue during the therapies session.
- Overcome nervousness before we do the therapies.
For the first timer patient, we need to turn up the session with a calmful mind and not nervous. When we are nervous, our muscle tensed up which cause difficulties of the execution of Acupuncture or Moxibustion therapies and eventually cause body ache. Maybe the TCM practitioner could guide the first timer patient to have some deep breathe before the remedy so that to ensure the remedy is effective.
- Let the body be in comfort gesture before we do the therapies.
For acupuncture session, let the body be in comfort gesture. For example: Let us have the Acupuncture session in a lying position, the comfortable gesture allowing us a smooth flow of Qi and blood circulation. Better to avoid sleeping sideway, as our Acupuncture session might take between 15-30 minutes. As the time past longer, it will cause muscular aches or numbness. When the needles have been inserted into the body, avoid moving the parts with needles in it as the needles might be bended accidentally.

Moxibustion session might take between 10-15 minutes; hence we need to take precaution of patient with skin illness or diabetic patient because their skin has always been sensitive. If the times go longer, it will burn the outer layer of the skin and cause skin injuries.
- Remedy for fixing blood blister or bruise.
A blood blister might arouse after the needle removed, as a remedy, as TCM practitioner, we would press the spot of blood blister for about 3 minutes. As for the bruise that arouse after the therapies, it will be disappearing by itself gradually and need not special treatment. It will only affect the aesthetic but not causing big issue to the body.
- Avoid shower or washing hair within two hours after the therapies.
Acupuncture and Moxibustion therapies would help improving Qi and blood circulation, if we taking shower or washing hair within two hours after the therapies, opening pores of the skin might allow dampness immerse into the body. Hence it will slow down the Qi and blood circulation inside the body and impacted the effectiveness of the therapies.
