Is it alright to
see a different associate at Tao of Wellness? |
|

the highest caliber at Tao of Wellness. We work together as a

|
|
If I can’t get in
to see my practitioner, can I pick up herbs or have herbs
shipped to me? |
|
|
It’s important to
avoid interrupting your treatment program, in the event that you
should miss your appointment, we encourage you to pick up a
refill of your herbs or have them shipped to you to maintain
treatment continuity. |
| |
|
|
|
How long can I
expect to be in the treatment room for an acupuncture treatment? |
|
|
It depends on your
practitioner’s discretion. On average expect 25-40 minutes. |
| |
|
|
|
Is it normal after
an acupuncture treatment to get bruises or swelling on the area
where the acupuncture needle was inserted? |
|
|
Occasionally
bruising or swelling may occur from an acupuncture treatment,
simply apply pressure and an ice pack for 10-15 minutes. It does
not negatively impact your treatment’s outcome. |
| |
|
|
|
Can I exercise or
go back to work after my treatment? |
|
|
Yes, you may return
to your normal activities shortly after your treatment. |
| |
|
|
|
Can I take vitamins
and other supplements while I take my herbs? Or will they
conflict? |
|
|
It’s generally not
a problem as long as you take the supplements and the herbs at
separate times. |
| |
|
|
|
How long after I
eat should I wait to drink my tea? Can I drink the tea on an
empty stomach? |
|
|
You should wait
15-20 minutes after your meal to drink the tea. It’s fine to
drink the tea on an empty stomach. |
| |
|
|
|
What should I do if
I slightly overcook the tea or overcooked it and ended up with
only one cup? Is it still good? |
|
|
Not a problem, as
long as the tea is not burnt. If you only end up with one
concentrated cup of tea add filtered or distilled water to the
concentrated tea to dilute it. Add enough water to the tea so
that it equals to 3 to 6 cups (depending on the type of tea pot
you use). |
| |
|
|
|
What should I do if
I forget to drink my tea for one dose? |
|
|
You should double
up the dose next time. It’s important to intake the prescribed
dosage on a daily basis for optimum results. |
| |
|
|
|
If I have more tea
left over, do I thrown it away or can I still drink it? |
|
|
You should drink
it, but keep in mind that once the tea is cooked it is only good
for 1 week in the refrigerator. |
| |
|
|
|
I’m experiencing
adverse reactions to the tea, such as abdominal pain and
bloating. Is this normal and what should I do? |
|
|
A: Let your
practitioner know, some people may have a reaction the first or
second week, but symptoms usually subside afterwards. |
