gentle, effective stress relief
restore balance with acudetox ear acupuncture
Acudetox is a specialized ear acupuncture technique that helps release stored stress and tension, activating the body’s natural healing response for relaxation and presence.
what is acudetox?
By stimulating five key points in the ear, acudetox helps regulate the nervous system, promote relaxation, and build resilience to future stressors. This gentle, yet effective treatment has been widely used to support stress relief, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being.
community roots
Acudetox has a rich history in community wellness. Developed in the 1970s to support individuals managing addiction and mental health challenges, it was pioneered in part by Dr. Mutulu Shakur, stepfather of Tupac Shakur. Today, acudetox is widely used for stress relief, addiction recovery, and holistic wellness.

“LOVED trying out ear acupuncture for the first time. Not only was that experience so interesting to learn about, but the studio is beautiful right along the river with lots of natural light. We did the acupuncture as a group, which was a great added socializing aspect to the experience. Will definitely be back!”
