Addictions
Addiction to alcohol or other drugs (from barbiturates to cocaine) is a physical and emotional dependence on that substance and the effects it produces. It involves loss of control, often causing devastating effects on all aspects of the individual’s life, including work, family and health.
Acupuncture Treats Addiction
The Ancient Chinese Science of Acupuncture has earned widespread regard in America as an effective treatment for addiction.
Acupuncture looks at addiction as an imbalance in the flow of the body’s vital life energy, or Qi, particularly on the kidney, liver, or nervous system meridians (channels). Using tiny needles inserted in particular acupuncture points on the body, this therapy works to correct the Qi imbalances. Not only does this ease or eliminate withdrawal symptoms, but the patient’s mind is then prepared to tackle some of the factors that led to the addiction.
Auriculotherapy, a form of acupuncture that treats the entire body through points on the ears, is particularly recommended for treating addictions.
Acupuncture Effective in treating addictions
Acupuncture is very effective in treating addictions. Treatment frequency and number of treatments needed depend on a variety of factors; the severity and duration of the symptoms and the quality and quantity of your Qi. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take weeks or even months to achieve results. Angie may suggest one or two treatments per week, or monthly visits for health maintenance and seasonal “tune-ups”.
