Acudetox ear acupuncture in Durban
Acudetox is a gentle ear acupuncture protocol using five fine needles in each ear. Many people find it deeply calming, and it is often used to support relaxation during times of stress and change.
What Acudetox is
Acudetox is a simple ear acupuncture protocol. Five fine needles go into set points in each ear, and then you rest.
Don’t let the name mislead you. Acudetox isn’t about flushing anything out of your organs. It’s about rest. Many people find it deeply calming, and it is often used to support relaxation during times of stress and change.
What a session feels like
You get comfortable. I place the needles in your ears, which you may feel as a tiny pinch, or not at all. Then comes a quiet rest period. You might close your eyes, breathe slowly, or simply sit and do nothing.
If you’re the one who is always on, holding everyone else together, it may be the first proper rest you’ve had in a while.
Who it suits
Acudetox suits you if your mind rarely switches off, if stress has been building for a while, or if you are going through a big change and want a little calm in the middle of it.
It is also a gentle first step if you are curious about acupuncture but nervous of needles. The needles are very fine, and I explain everything before I begin.

Questions women often ask
Does it hurt?
You may feel a tiny, quick pinch as each fine needle goes in, or nothing at all. Once the needles are in place, you usually stop noticing them. If anything feels uncomfortable, tell me and I will adjust it straight away.
How is it different from full-body acupuncture?
Full-body acupuncture uses points across the body, chosen for each person. Acudetox uses the same five points in each ear every time. It is a simple, quiet protocol.
How often do people come?
There is no set schedule. We decide together, based on how you feel after your first session and what is happening in your life. You will never be pushed to book more than you need.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Often, yes. Let me know what else you are doing, whether that is BodyTalk, coaching or another treatment, and I will suggest what makes sense for you. You can talk it through on your free discovery call first.
How much does it cost?
Every plan is tailored to you, so I share pricing on your free discovery call. There is no obligation to book anything afterwards.
