AcuDetox Acupuncture (Auriculotherapy)
In acupuncture the ear is regarded as a mini-map of the body and each acupuncture point corresponds to different body parts and organs. When needles are inserted into acupuncture points, the body releases natural painkillers (endorphins) which enter neural pathways to relieve pain and encourage healing.
NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) was initially established for the treatment of addiction and to assist in the recovery process but due to its powerful effects, it is also used for:
*General detoxification (toxins from our environment, food, water, air, bacteria, and cosmetics)
*Stress relief
*Improved sleep patterns
*Anxiety and depression
*Pain (especially postoperative or chronic)
*Emotional balance (feelings of distress, worry, or uneasiness)
*Better organ function (kidneys, liver, lungs, stomach, spleen, bladder, heart)
*Improved brain function
*Improved digestion, metabolism, and immunity
*Headaches and migraines
*Improved circulation and heart health
*Back and joint pain
*Smoking cessation
*Allergy and sinus relief
*Respiratory health
*Increased energy
*Restlessness
*Overall health and vitality
Acupuncture is a safe, inexpensive, and effective treatment for many chronic disorders and it can be used preventatively as well. By facilitating a balancing of energy throughout the body’s macrosystems and by correcting pathological reflex centres in the brain, stimulation of the auricular acupuncture microsystem can lead to homeostatic state whereby any form of stress or pain is lessened. Stimulation of the specific ear reflex points that corresponds to a particular area in the body leads to either a reduction of excess stimulation or an enhancement of diminished underactivity of the affected region.
The overall effect of auriculotherapy is to create a more balanced condition throughout the body.
What to expect during a session
The treatment is done with thin flexible needles made of stainless steel and silver alloy. As the needles are inserted and begin to work, an energy effect occurs and you might feel heat or tingling where the needles are located or along a nearby channel. The NADA protocol involves placing 5 sterilized needles into specific sites in the ear. The recipient can lie down or stay seated and will be asked to remain still, quiet, and relaxed for the duration of the session. Some participants fall asleep, some feel a deep sense of peace, while others might feel more energized.
