Introduction of NADA acupuncture in Pakistan and Turkey
NADA acupuncture, also known as the NADA protocol or simply “acudetox,” is a specific form of acupuncture that focuses on five points in the ear. It was developed by Dr. Michael Smith in the 1970s as a part of addiction treatment. The acronym “NADA” stands for the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association, an organization founded by Dr. Smith to promote and standardize the use of this protocol.
The five points targeted in NADA acupuncture are:
- Shen Men (Spirit Gate)
- Sympathetic
- Kidney
- Liver
- Lung
These points are believed to have a calming and stabilizing effect on the nervous system, making them particularly useful in the context of addiction treatment and other mental health support.

Benefits of NADA acupuncture
NADA acupuncture is often used as an adjunctive therapy in substance abuse rehabilitation programs and mental health clinics. It is not a standalone treatment for addiction, but rather a complementary approach used in conjunction with other forms of therapy, counseling, and medical interventions.
Benefits attributed to NADA acupuncture include:
- Reduced Withdrawal Symptoms: It is believed that NADA acupuncture help alleviate some of the discomfort and symptoms associated with withdrawal from substances like drugs or alcohol.
- Reduced Anxiety and Stress: The protocol has proven to have a calming effect on the nervous system, which can be especially beneficial for individuals dealing with anxiety or stress, common issues in addiction recovery.
- Improved Sleep: Many individuals report improved sleep quality and reduced insomnia after receiving NADA acupuncture.
- Increased Relaxation and Mindfulness: Many people find that acupuncture sessions, including the NADA protocol, promote a sense of relaxation and mindfulness.
- Support for Emotional Well-Being: NADA acupuncture is often used to help individuals cope with emotional challenges, including depression and trauma.
It’s important to note that while there is some evidence and anecdotal support for the effectiveness of NADA acupuncture in addiction treatment and mental health support, it’s not a substitute for conventional medical treatment or psychotherapy. It should be administered by a qualified and licensed practitioner as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Additionally, individual responses to acupuncture can vary, so results may differ from person to person. If you or someone you know is considering NADA acupuncture, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional familiar with the specific circumstances and treatment needs.
