Treatment begins with the patient lying down, as during a regular acupuncture session. Alternately, a group gathers, where individuals are seated in chairs to undergo acu-detox treatment in the presence of one another. Groups are offered at a significantly reduced cost. A peaceful treatment atmosphere can be expected in both individual and group settings. The Acu-Detox treatment is based on the insertion of fine gauge, sterile acupuncture needles into the 5 detox points of each ear, for up to 40 minutes. The 5 detox points have been shown to effectively address the major organs of the body and brain chemistry that are negatively impacted by the effects of substance usage. The points relate to the lungs, kidneys, liver, sympathetic nervous system, and ‘Spirit’s Gate’, an acupuncture point that stimulates the harmonizing of Heart-Spirit, reducing mental-emotional and physical pain, and reducing effects of craving. The treatment affects the organs and bodily functions that cleanse and balance the body and support overall well-being. Chinese herbs are additionally offered to promote supportive results between Acu-Detox sessions.

Acupuncture and Endorphins

✍️Wendy Brown, Lic. Ac.

Oriental medicine does not reduce patients to separate compartments of illness or function but rather sees an integrated, whole being that is a synthesis of mind, body, and spirit inseparably. Patients having acupuncture routinely sense, to varying degrees, a soothed yet elated experience even once the needles have been removed. We feel good, meanwhile, acupuncture as effective medicine integrates and strengthens our organs and their functions, nerves, hormones, structures, and fields of energy in a self-correcting mode of homeostasis.

The needling of acupuncture points along channels and trajectories has been shown to elicit the release of endorphins and enkephalins, among other health-engendering effects. Neurotransmitters dull pain, relax musculature, and induce a state of calm. From convincing evidence particularly in fields of medicine concerned with acupuncture for chemical detox and for pain management, acupuncture can, in these circles, be valued predominantly for its enhancement of natural opioids Synthetic opiate derivatives such as opium, morphine, and heroin have side-effects from the ability of those substances to bind to neuro-hormone receptors. Acupuncture is free from side-effects.

Endorphins and enkephalins are produced in the pituitary and hypothalamus. Acupuncture is a safe, chemical-free approach to providing an alternative to synthetic opioids. Electro-acupuncture modifies nerve cell response which further enhances endorphin activation and is especially fitting in treatment of inflammation and pain. Endorphin response is an inherent byproduct in the treatment by acupuncture for any condition.
