Abuse

Detox refers to detoxification from an addiction. Detox acupuncture usually involves the use of acupuncture points on the external ear, or auricle. There are thousands of acupuncture points just on the ear alone.

Acupuncture can help with the withdrawal from any addiction, by treating and preventing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Acupuncture also helps smooth out mood swings which sometimes accompany withdrawal.

Virtually any addiction can be treated with acupuncture, such as cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, heroin, methadone, and crack.
