The NADA protocol is a simple yet powerful ear acupuncture technique involving 5 specific points on each ear.
🌀 Where is it used?
Originally developed for addiction recovery in detox facilities, it’s now used worldwide in a variety of settings including health care clinics, community centers, hospitals, disaster relief, and military settings. It is often used adjunctively alongside counseling or other medical treatments.
🌿 Why use it?
This protocol helps reduce cravings, calm the nervous system, improve sleep, ease anxiety, and support emotional regulation. It’s most commonly used for ni****ne, alcohol, and opioid withdrawal—but can also help with cannabis, caffeine, sugar, and emotional patterns like stress eating or compulsive behavior. By regulating the nervous system and decreasing internal stress, it can also indirectly reduce physical pain and tension in the body.
A gentle and deeply grounding tool for healing and resilience. 💛
