AcuDetox /AcuWellness for Healing & Balance
What is AcuDetox?
5 point auricular ear acupuncture, also called AcuDetox or AcuWellness, is a specific acupuncture protocol used to help with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, addictions, and trauma. AcuDetox/AcuWellness supports relaxation, emotional well-being, and resilience. The NADA protocol (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association), referred to as AcuDetox, involves the gentle placement of 5 sterile needles in each ear which remain in the ear for 30-40 minutes to relax and calm your nervous system.
You can schedule a stand-alone AcuDetox session, come to a drop-in community AcuWellness session (stay tuned for info on these offerings) or it can be used as an adjunct modality to an individual therapy session. AcuDetox works by calming the nervous system, and often creates a sense of emotional balance and calm.
