What is the optimal duration for acupuncture sessions?

The duration of acupuncture generally ranges from 20 to 30 minutes, and may even be longer. The specific time required needs to be judged and analyzed based on the severity of the illness, and cannot be generalized. Acupuncture is a therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), capable of promoting the flow of qi and blood, harmonizing yin and yang, and strengthening the body's resistance to eliminate pathogens.

If the illness is relatively mild, the acupuncture duration may be relatively shorter, typically around 20 minutes. If the illness is more severe, the acupuncture duration may be longer, typically around 30 minutes, or even longer. Due to variations in patients' conditions, the duration of acupuncture can differ. During acupuncture treatment, it is recommended to be performed under the guidance of a professional TCM practitioner to avoid adverse effects. After acupuncture, attention should be paid to the care of acupuncture points, with timely disinfection to prevent infection. In daily life, it is important to keep warm, add clothing in time to avoid catching a cold, which may affect health. Additionally, drinking more warm water can promote blood circulation.
