How does it work?
Acudetox is a five-point acupuncture protocol and a proven method to reduce cravings and symptoms of withdrawal. The ear acupuncture also relaxes the nervous system, calms emotions, and balances the energy levels in the body.
The acupuncture needles are gently placed in the ear at specific points. The process works through stimulation of cranial nerves passing through the ears en route to the rest of the body. The treatment takes between 30-45 minutes to take effect.
The five treatment points correlate with three major organs: lungs, liver, and kidneys. Often, these organs have been found to be affected by stress and ongoing substance use. The other two additional points of placement are for the sympathetic nervous system.
The Acudetox protocol was developed by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) in 1985 for managing behavioral health symptoms, including addiction. The NADA protocol of Acudetox is simply the name for the protocol of the series of 5 tiny needles that are placed at specific points in the ear.
The acupuncture needles are gently placed in the ear at specific points. The process works through stimulation of cranial nerves passing through the ears en route to the rest of the body. The treatment takes between 30-45 minutes to take effect.
Operation of the five treatment points
- Shen Men, “Spirit Gate”: A spot that stimulates the release of endorphins which reduce pain and elevate mood. Intensifies feelings of connection to a person’s spiritual self.
- Sympathetic Nervous System: A spot that relaxes muscles and the “fight or flight” mechanism.
- Kidney: A spot that provides access to emotional reserves, clears blood, and reduces fear.
- Liver: A spot that helps to detoxify the entire body and deal with unresolved feelings of anger.
- Lungs: Another detoxification spot, which also deals with feelings of grief. Helps to detoxify and restores joy.
