How Acudetox works

AcuDetox works by stimulating five specific points in each ear that correspond to key body systems involved in stress response and emotional regulation. These points - called Sympathetic, Shen Men, Kidney, Liver, and Lung - were carefully chosen based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles and modern research. When stimulated with tiny, sterile needles, these points send signals to your brain that activate your body's natural healing response, reduce stress hormones, and promote the release of endorphins.


The treatment is administered in-person by our certified practitioners in a quiet, calming environment. While some clients notice benefits after a single session, regular treatments allow for cumulative effects and longer-lasting results. AcuDetox can be used as a standalone treatment or integrated with other therapeutic approaches like counseling or trauma work.
