NADA Ear Acupuncture

the NADA ear acupuncture protocol is a simple, powerful healing tool to bring calmness, ease mental and physical symptoms, PTSD & addictions

The NADA Protocol

NADA is a simple ear acupuncture or no-needle acupressure protocol delivered in group settings. It involves up to 5 acupuncture points on the ear. NADA is most commonly used to promote calm, feel better physically, help with PTSD, cravings, withdrawal, and toxic stress.

NADA’s effectiveness

Advantages Of NADA

Non-verbal/talk-free
No fuss, no judgement, no complicated or differential diagnosis

How it Works

Each person receives up to 5 tiny needles gently placed in each ear to promote their inner calm and grounded self.  We set up a quiet atmosphere for everyone to rest while sitting silently next to others in the community.
The sessions last 20-45 minutes and are very relaxing. 

NADA vs. Individualized Community Acupuncture

Do you want to address specific physical conditions?
You might want individualized community acupuncture treatment.
NADA is a universal treatment- we use the same ear points on everybody. NADA treatments are not individualized to particular symptoms. The beauty of NADA is no words are necessary- just come in and relax.
We offer individualized community acupuncture 7 days a week, $30-$60 sliding scale.
We offer NADA ear clinics once a month for $20.

Know Your NADA History

Huey Newton and the Black Panther Party played a direct historical role in introducing community acupuncture models and Chinese medicine practices to the U.S. after visiting China in 1971. While Newton led the historic delegation, party members and affiliated medical figures like Dr. Tolbert Small actually observed and studied these techniques firsthand to bring back for community health clinics.

(POCA) is a member-run non-profit organization whose mission is to work cooperatively to increase accessibility to and availability of affordable group acupuncture treatments. We envision a world in which every community has access to local, affordable acupuncture to reduce collective and individual suffering and to nurture resilience.

We acknowledge the debt we owe, as community acupuncturists, to the Young Lords and the Black Panthers, two groups challenging racism and oppression in the 1970’s who fought to bring affordable group acupuncture into their communities to address the scourge of addiction.​
