NADA stands for the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association. Traditionally this protocol was used for addiction, a specific combination of points on each ear helps to calm the nervous system, lower stress and anxiety, reduce withdrawal symptoms and support the bodily systems.  Once the points are activated it is a non verbal treatment, this is to encourage a conscious feeling of stillness and relaxation.

This protocol has been used to assist people through detox since the early 1970s though in more recent times it has been recognised for its capacity to help with mental health issues such as anxiety, PTSD, sleep issues and mental stress. I mainly use this treatment for patients suffering high stress that is impacting their quality of life, or alongside other healthcare professionals to assist patients through detox and recovery.
