Acupuncture AcuDetox
What Is Acudetox For?
AcuDetox: The Basics
AcuDetox is also known as acupuncture detoxification, auriculotherapy, ear acupuncture, and five-point ear acupuncture. The needles we use are fine gauge, disposable, sterilized, and stainless steel. If you are afraid they might cause you pain, don’t worry—you’ll barely feel a quick prick as each needle enters your skin.
Each of the five points in the ear corresponds to a specific point in the body. One affects the parasympathetic nervous system and the others affect the heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys. By activating these points through acupuncture, your body will become more relaxed, while also becoming more effective at cleansing your system of any toxins.
The benefits of AcuDetox are numerous. Studies have shown that it can relieve withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, ease stress and anxiety, improve sleep, lessen depression, and alleviate aches and pains, Attention deficit disorder.
