What should I do before my first acupuncture visit?
by Primavita
If you have never had acupuncture before, here are some tips to help you feel more comfortable before your first visit.
- Be sure to eat something light an hour or two before treatment. Try to avoid arriving on an empty stomach or after a large meal.
- Try to avoid the intake of caffeine and pain medication for a few hours before you arrive.
- Wear loose comfortable clothing.
- Write down any questions you may have for the doctor.

I am a licensed, board certified naturopathic physician and acupuncturist in the Greater Seattle Area. I love herbs, flowers and learning more about people’s life stories, as we all have things that we can learn from one another. I feel blessed that nature can always help us reconnect with what really matters.
