AcuDetox (Auricular acupuncture detoxification) is a specialized acupuncture technique that offers a natural way to reduce stress, anxiety, and promote overall well-being. By placing tiny, sterile needles on specific points on the ears, this treatment stimulates the body's natural relaxation response, promoting deep relaxation, improving mood, boosting energy levels, and supporting overall health.
Five specific acupuncture points in the ear are commonly used in AcuDetox. These points work synergistically to promote physical and emotional healing, making AcuDetox a powerful tool for stress reduction, addiction recovery, and overall well-being.
- Shen Men ("Spirit Gate"): Often used to alleviate anxiety, reduce pain, and encourage emotional healing and calmness.
- Sympathetic Point: Helps calm the nervous system, promoting relaxation and balancing the body's response to stress.
- Kidney Point: Supports kidney function and addresses fear and anxiety, enhancing the body’s detoxification processes.
- Liver Point: Helps detoxify the liver, reduce anger, and support emotional balance and overall health.
- Lung Point: Supports respiratory health, aids in grief and letting go, and helps cleanse and detoxify the body.
