Safety starts with the practitioner: full aseptic technique, new or properly sterilised needles, and a clean field at all times. Patients must give an honest history—allergies, medications, bleeding disorders, pregnancy. During needling, stay relaxed; if dizziness, sweating, or pallor appear (signs of needle fainting), the doctor stops immediately and raises your legs. After removal, keep the puncture sites clean and dry for four to six hours, skip the pool, gym, or spicy alcohol that evening, and follow any personalised rest or dietary advice. Observe these steps, and every session stays both safe and effective.
