Acudetox: A Balancing Treatment
Bringing the systems of the body into balance
The systems within our bodies, as in nature, operate on a basis of homeostasis - when things are in balance, they work optimally.
Acudetox is a treatment that helps bring the systems in our body - namely the main detox systems: kidney, liver, and lung - back into balance.
This is how the acudetox treatment helps each of us feel better, no matter where we are in life - from stress and anxiety to detox to active and sustained recovery, it benefits everyone
What is acudetox? Acudetox is a 5-needle ear acupuncture treatment that helps reduce stress, regulate hormone function, and encourage the main detox organs of the body — that is, the kidney, liver, and lung — to work together in carrying out their functions.
When our body is under stress, the homeostatic balance in our body is disrupted a stress state exists: deficiencies arise, and the organ systems must compensate, picking up extra slack here or there.
Our bodies are designed with the ability to compensate in this way, but when the stress state (out of balance) is introduced over and over again, for example, with high stress work or lifestyle, repeated substance use or alcohol abuse, or even overeating, it becomes increasingly harder for the body to bring itself back into balance.
This is where acudetox helps. Acudetox is a gentle treatment that redirects our detox systems to their intended function. It also engages the nervous system and heart(spirit). Altogether, acudetox is a treatment that supports and balances us - body, mind, and spirit, through the good days and the bad.
