    Please notify me if you are taking any supplements, medications, herbs, diet-aids or sleeping aids. You should allow 24-48 hours free from taking most types of medications or supplements.

    It’s necessary to fast 8 hours before but do avoid drinking before the treatment starts. However, a herbal tea no more than 2 hours before is fine.
