EAR ACUPUNCTURE (NADA)

Ear acupuncture offers a holistic approach to wellness by stimulating specific points on the outer ear. These points correspond to various organs and systems in the body, promoting balance and healing. Benefits of ear acupuncture include pain relief, stress reduction, improved sleep, enhanced mood, and support for addiction recovery.

NADA (National Acupuncture Detoxification Association) acupuncture is a specialized form of ear acupuncture that focuses on five specific points in the ear. This protocol is renowned for its effectiveness in addiction recovery, stress reduction, anxiety, depression, and promoting overall well-being.

After the needles are in place, you sit or lay in silence for 45 minutes and allow the needles to gently balance whatever is needed for you. It releases a natural production of oxytocin, dopamine and endorphins and regulates Nervus Vagus which puts you in a meditative, calm state.

Acupuncture is a cumulative therapy, and often requires multiple sessions over a period of weeks before seeing or feeling a shift. It is true that one may experience immediate results, such as deep relaxation and improved state of mind already after the first session.

One session is 45 minutes, a standard course of treatment for NADA would typically be 1-2 times a week for 6-10 weeks.

You will also be sent home with a press needle (if you wish), that helps us to prolong the effects of treatment in between sessions, it stays on for 5-7 days.
