Due to factors related to human physiological functions and living conditions, several aspects should be taken into consideration during acupuncture:
Individuals seeking beauty treatments should not undergo acupuncture when excessively hungry, tired, or mentally stressed.
Pregnant women should be cautious, and acupuncture is generally prohibited during the first three months of pregnancy to prevent miscarriage. Acupuncture should also be avoided during menstruation.
Acupuncture should not be performed on areas of the skin with infections, ulcers, scars, or tumors.
Individuals who frequently experience spontaneous bleeding or have difficulty stopping bleeding after an injury should not undergo acupuncture.
Acupuncture should not be performed on certain acupoints on the head and face, including Chengqi, Zonghui, Nao Hu, Shenting, and Yuzhen, as recorded in ancient Chinese medical texts.
