People who are ready to book often still have one final set of questions:
- 🍽️ What should I eat beforehand?
- 👕 What should I wear?
- ⏰ How long will it take?
- ⚡ Should I expect instant results?
Before Your Visit
- Eat lightly — do not come on a very full stomach, but also do not skip meals

- Arrive on time — your first visit is approximately 20 minutes
- Bring questions — write down your main concerns and symptoms
After Your Visit
- Avoid overexertion for several hours
- Avoid alcohol or drugs after treatment
- Drink water and rest if needed
- Notice how your body feels — changes may be subtle at first
Managing Expectations
Constitutional acupuncture is not always an instant fix. Some people notice changes quickly, while others may need repeated treatments depending on the condition and the body’s response. At 8 Body Type, treatment is designed to build on itself over time.
This page is not just about logistics. It is about helping you feel ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
