Can I exercise after acupuncture treatment?
Yes, of course you can! Of course it will depend on the severity of your condition and the intensity of the workout. I would suggest avoid working out the site of injury like if you were injured in the upper body then you can try lower body workouts. Check with your primary as well to see if alternative medicine & working out would be safe for your condition. - Live Happy, Michael READ MORE
Can I drink alcohol after acupuncture treatment?
Of course you can! Alcohol is very blood invigorating in TCM, not a bad idea to get your blood flowing after stimulating your qi. However, I would not suggest if you have issues with alcohol, your medication contradicts using alcohol and/or your condition is not healthy enough for alcohol. Check with your primary physician to see if alternative medicine and/or alcohol is comfortable for your condition. READ MORE
