Every body and energy system responds differently, but after your treatment you may notice:
- Deep relaxation or sleepiness
- Increased energy or mental clarity
- Emotional release (tearfulness, vivid dreams, heightened awareness)
- Mild headache or slight tenderness (especially after massage or reflexology)
- Tingling, warmth or subtle energy shifts
- Increased thirst
- More frequent urination as your body processes and releases
These responses are completely normal and usually settle within 24–48 hours. Your body is recalibrating and integrating the work.
💧 Hydrate Well
Drink plenty of water for the next 24 hours. This helps:
- Flush metabolic waste released during massage or reflexology
- Support lymphatic drainage
- Assist energetic integration after Reiki or tuning forks
Herbal teas are also wonderful. Try chamomile, peppermint or nettle.
🌙 Rest & Integrate
If possible:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for the rest of the day
- Give yourself quiet time
- Go to bed a little earlier
- Journal any thoughts, insights or dreams
Your nervous system has shifted into a calmer state — allow it to settle gently.
🍃 Nourish Gently
Choose light, nourishing foods where possible.
Avoid excess alcohol or heavy meals for 24 hours, especially after aromatherapy or deep massage.
🔥 Emotional Release
Energy work and bodywork can unlock stored emotions. If feelings surface:
- Breathe slowly and deeply
- Be kind to yourself
- Allow emotions to move without judgement
This is part of your healing process.
🌸 Essential Oil Aftercare (If You Received Aromatherapy)
The oils continue working after your session.
- Leave oils on the skin for several hours
- Avoid very hot showers immediately after treatment
- If sensitivity occurs, gently wash with warm water and mild soap
