It is best not to have eaten an hour before treatment and alcohol should be avoided prior to and after treatment. There is a light residue of oils left on the skin after treatment which will be absorbed over the next 24 hours. To gain maximum benefit avoid bathing for the next 8 hrs, drink plenty of water to aid detoxification, relax and wear clothing that will not be adversely effected by oil.

Most people feel sleepy, have a feeling of wellbeing and calm or fall asleep during treatment. If a stimulatory treatment is required due to low energy levels, then clients have a sense of wellbeing after treatment. It is not recommended that you undertake a long drive or operate heavy machinery after treatment because of the likelihood of being sleepy.
