What is the Nada Acupuncture Protocol

The NADA treatment model follows the NADA U.S. five-point training protocol, developed at the Lincoln Memorial Hospital, Lincoln Recovery Centre in New York.

The process involves the gentle insertion of up to five fine, single use, steralised, stainless steel disposable needles into specific energetic points in the outer ear.

The Five Ear Points:
(1) Sympathetic – calms the nervous system and helps with overall relaxation.

(2) Shen Men / “Spirit Gate” – reduces anxiety and nervousness.

(3) Kidney Point – for calming fears and healing internal organs.

(4) Liver Point – for detoxification, blood purification, and to quell aggression.

(5) Lung Point – promotes aeration and helps clients let go of grief.

A NADA Practitioner will insert up to five needles in each ear for up to 45 minutes while clients sit in a relaxed atmosphere. During this time the client may feel sleepy, experience a meditative state or just feel calm and relaxed.

ln the 1970’s the NADA protocol was developed to help addicts with their recovery dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, irritability and cravings. Since then NADA protocol has been found effective for a wide range of conditions.
