Informed Consent I,, hereby authorize the licensed acupuncturist at Mama Lounge to administer any style of Chinese Medicine relevant to my diagnosis and treatment, including but not limited to the following: Insertion of disposable, stainless steel acupuncture needles of various sizes into my body at different depths and locations. Heated moxibustion treatment using the herb Artemisia vulgaris, or a heat lamp may be placed on or near any part of my body. There is also indirect moxibustion treatment where the herb may be placed on the head of a needle or on ginger or salt which rests on the skin. The heat might cause slight discomfort or leave a small scar or blister on the skin. With any type of heat, there is risk of burn. A vigorous massage technique called gua sha may produce redness, tenderness or slight bruising of the skin that will last from 1-5 days. Cupping may be used to promote circulation. Suction from the cups may produce red or purple spots that can last 1-5 days. Electrical Stimulation may be used to enhance the treatment at various acupuncture points. I have been informed that I have the right to refuse any form of treatment. I understand the nature of the treatment, have been informed of the risks and possible consequences involved with this treatment, and was given an opportunity to ask questions pertaining to my treatment.
