Let your body do the talking

Sometimes, healing isn’t about speaking out loud on an overworn couch, it’s about quietly allowing your body to do what it knows best.

Acudetox acupuncture (aka acuwellness or ear acupuncture) invites you into a space of stillness, where you don’t have to do anything. You simply be.

By rebalancing qi (pronounced “chee”) – your body’s natural life force energy, which can become disrupted by symptoms of stress, trauma, or addiction – you’re able to access a place of calm and renewal.

A few strategically placed needles later, and your body’s own wisdom begins to take over, gently detoxifying and restoring balance across your emotional, physical, and spiritual self.

How it works

The NADA 5-Point Protocol (5NP)

During acudetox, five specific points in the ear are targeted, each one linked to different functions in your body. As these points are activated, you’ll begin to relax, release, and feel more connected:

Sympathetic

Calms the autonomic nervous system, easing tension and stress.

Shen Men

Soothes anxiety, helps with cravings, and supports restful sleep.

Kidney

Detoxifies blood, builds emotional resilience, and releases fear.

Liver

Alleviates anger and depression, helping you feel more at peace.

Lung

Regulates breath, restores joy, and fosters a sense of inner lightness.

By working on these key points, acudetox not only relaxes and restores but also facilitates ongoing emotional release and physical detoxification – making it a valuable tool for integrating other therapies and supporting sustained inner balance.

Hey, I’m Jessica – your acudetox practitioner + holistic psychotherapist

Acupuncture was my gateway to a different kind of healing

Healing rarely follows a straight path. My journey toward deeper peace and self-discovery was winding and full of turns, as I searched for meaningful ways to ease symptoms of anxiety and depression.

After years in social work, where burnout came knocking, I discovered the world of holistic healing, and acupuncture became one of the first steps toward a different kind of wellness.

For curious, seeking souls, acudetox can offer that same gentle beginning for you.

Have questions about Acudetox Acupuncture Denver

Can I combine my treatment with other holistic modalities?

Absolutely! Acudetox integrates seamlessly with other therapies, whether it’s traditional talk therapy, plant medicine, or full retreats. This approach not only helps balance your energy, build mindfulness, and deepen your connection to yourself, but it also supports integration by facilitating the continued release of emotions and detoxification of the body. Many people find that acudetox enhances clarity, helps release stored emotions, and fosters a sense of alignment—especially when combined with other holistic practices.

How does acudetox actually work?

Acudetox focuses on five points in each ear, each linked to a different part of your body. Two points (the sympathetic nervous system and Shen Men, or “heavenly gate”) help reduce stress and create a sense of calm, while the other three points connect to major organs: the liver, kidneys, and lungs. These points release physical and emotional tension and help balance your body’s natural energy.

Once the needles are in place, it takes a few minutes to begin feeling the effects, with the needles remaining in place for around 45 minutes. Afterward, I can apply ear seeds to specific points to prolong the benefits, which typically last up to a week.

How does acudetox support mental health?

Acudetox helps release the tension that builds up from stress, trauma, or life’s challenges. Many people find they sleep more peacefully, feel calmer, and notice anxiety lift in ways they hadn’t felt possible. It offers a non-verbal path to healing that gently supports your resilience, helping you feel more connected and empowered.

For some, acudetox provides immediate relief from anxiety and builds a foundation of inner strength to better manage fear, anger, and feelings of helplessness. It supports you from the inside out.

Is Acudetox safe? Does it hurt?

We use tiny, sterilized needles, designed to be minimally invasive. You might feel a small pinch when they’re first applied, but most people find the experience relaxing and pain-free. Sometimes the ear can feel a bit tender afterward, but it’s usually mild and fades quickly. As a gentle reminder, be sure to eat beforehand for the best experience.

While rare, some people might experience a mild headache or slight flushing. In those cases, we can simply remove the needle or ear seed, which typically relieves any discomfort.

Is acudetox suitable for children?

Yes, acudetox can be beneficial for children, especially for mood support, better sleep, and managing symptoms like ADHD. For those under 13, I offer ear seeds instead of needles. Ear seeds provide a gentle way for kids to experience the benefits without the need for needles. For older children and teens, acudetox with needles is available with parental consent.
