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.

The outer ear acts like a switchboard that sends impulses to the brain, which stimulate the release of endorphins, lowers stress and induces relaxation.

NADA GB is part of an international body with over 25,000 healthcare workers worldwide having completed the NADA protocol training to date. Practitioners can be found working in a wide array of health fields and settings and NADA estimates that there are over 2000 independently run clinics in countries such as: Austria, Australia, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, New Caledonia, Norway, The Philippines, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia, Thailand, UK, US, South Africa and the Caribbean, among others. NADA annual conferences are held annually in the US, Europe and many countries worldwide.

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, sterilised, stainless steel disposable needles into specific energetic points in the outer ear. No electrical stimulation is used.

The NADA-system is most suited to group settings. An 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 fall asleep, 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. Acupuncturist Without Borders has used it extensively in treating trauma during and after hurricane Katrina and have begun a national military outreach to veterans.

Group Acupuncture is simple and effective. There is no appointment necessary, no intake, no need to talk of past experiences. individuals simply come in and experience the benefits of the acupuncture. The NADA protocol is not a stand-alone treatment. It works best when used in combination within a comprehensive treatment programme that offers other therapeutic elements such as counselling, education, family involvement, peer/community support groups and supportive medical healthcare.
