5NP Auricular Acupuncture
The NADA Protocol is a standardized, non-verbal approach to healing that involves the gentle placement of small, sterilized needles into specific points on the ear. It's often used in group settings for 30-45 minutes, and is known for its use in addressing behavioral health issues, including substance abuse, trauma, and anxiety.
While variations exist, the NADA Protocol typically involves the use of five key ear points: Sympathetic, Shen Men (Spirit Gate), Kidney, Liver, and Lung.
The NADA protocol for ear acupuncture uses specific ear points, often stimulated with ear seeds, for various conditions, including addiction, behavioral health, and emotional trauma.
