The wonderful things about acupuncture is that it will stimulate the same effect than if you were drinking alcohol...if you were somebody that really want to get off from alcohol, I would suggest a period of intensive treatments to help you to deal with the vicious circle of addictions and helping the liver to clear out.
Ever thought about how acupuncture could help in the battle against addiction? In this episode of 'Sober Fierce', Erin Frame sits down with Helene Gaudard-Castillo, an expert in acupuncture, to uncover how this ancient practice can support sobriety. Helene breaks down the science behind acupuncture, explaining how it can mimic the relaxing effects of alcohol by stimulating hormones like dopamine and serotonin. But unlike alcohol, acupuncture comes with a host of health benefits.
The conversation kicks off with a deep dive into the impact of alcohol on the brain. Helene explains how alcohol initially makes you feel good by releasing dopamine but leaves you feeling irritable and tired as it wears off. This is where acupuncture steps in, offering a natural way to balance your body's chemistry and promote relaxation without the hangover.
Helene also shares insights into auricular acupuncture, a technique that targets specific points on the ear to reduce cravings and stress. She emphasizes the importance of a personalized treatment plan, taking into account each individual's emotional and physical health. With Chinese herbs and a thorough diagnostic process, Helene tailors her approach to support long-term sobriety. If you're curious about alternative methods to aid your recovery journey, this episode is a must-listen.
Helene's expertise provides a fresh perspective on how acupuncture can be a powerful tool in overcoming addiction.
