Tips & Warnings

• While it's nice to save money, don't automatically reach for the most inexpensive products. Sometimes it's worth it to splurge on moderately-priced oils and lotions, as they may contain more healing properties and be more beneficial in the long run.
• If you experience any side effects of using Oriental bodywork products, such as a rash, difficulty breathing, nausea or dizziness, discontinue use immediately.
• Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
