How many catgut embedding treatments will I need?
This varies between patients and conditions. Certainly a course of treatment is required (usually five sessions), one off miracle cures are unusual! Some changes either in yourself generally, or in your condition directly should be noticed after the first or second treatment. Each treatment is usually 3 weeks apart.
What should I do before catgut embedding treatment?
Try not to have a big meal within an hour of your appointment as the process of digestion will alter the pattern of your pulse. Also avoid alcohol and food or drinks which colour your tongue (such as coffee) before your first treatment.
Does catgut embedding treatment hurt?
Catgut embedding is not painless but neither can it be described as painful. Most people’s experience of needles is of those used in injections and blood tests. When the needle is inserted, the absorbable suture is then implanted under your skin which will gives a tingling sensation. You are advised to avoid any heavy physical exercises and massages for 2-3 days after your treatment.
How will I feel after catgut embedding?
Usually rather relaxed and calm. Occasionally you may feel tired or drowsy for a few hours if the treatment has been particularly strong or there may be a short term flair up of your symptoms as your Qi clears and resettles itself.
