I feel very sleepy after my acupuncture session. Is this normal?
Hi, thank you for the question. Several questions I want to know is how long the sleepy feeling lasted? Did you fall asleep during/after the treatment? How did you feel after 1-2 days from acupuncture treatment? Acupuncture treatment is through the needle, redirect the energy in the channel. People might have different reactions during/after receiving the treatment. Dizziness or sleepy are normal. Most of our patients fall asleep during the treatment. Acupuncture are very relaxing.
