How to Treat Drug Addiction With Acupuncture

Video Transcript

"SARAH HAUER: Hi, I'm Sarah Hauer. SIG HAUER: And I'm Sig Hauer, and we're professional practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine. SARAH HAUER: We're here on behalf of Expert Village. SIG HAUER: And welcome to our video. So, what I'm going to do that particularly drug addiction treatment plan is a five-needle protocol, five specific ear needles. And I'm going to show that to you. When we treat addictions here in our office, we have a little bit more leeway. So, we quite often add a few points on the body because we'll see what that person's overall pattern is and we can support that pattern by treating them overall. But these five points are very important in the ear. So, I'm going to show you that now. And of course, I have washed my hands and I'm going to swab Sarah's ear with alcohol. SARAH HAUER: And there isn't just one treatment for one addiction. We can treat alcoholism. We can treat narcotic addiction. We can even work with food addictions. It doesn't--we don't have to distinguish exactly what it is that addiction that you're working within our treatment but we do distinguish your constitutional diagnosis very, very clearly in our treatments. The ear treatment Sig is doing is an overall addiction treatment."
