AcuDetox with the NADA protocol.

What Is AcuDetox?

AcuDetox is based on the NADA protocol, developed in the 1970s to help people struggling with substance use and trauma. It involves placing tiny needles in five specific points on the ear, each corresponding to areas of the body and emotions:

  • Sympathetic point: Calms the nervous system

  • Shen Men (“Spirit Gate”): Reduces anxiety and promotes relaxation

  • Kidney point: Supports resilience and energy

  • Liver point: Helps with detoxification and emotional regulation

  • Lung point: Supports grief release and breathing

Together, these points create a calming, restorative effect that helps patients feel more grounded and supported.

Where AcuDetox Is Used

The NADA protocol is used worldwide in:

  • Addiction recovery programs

  • Veteran and trauma support clinics

  • Disaster relief settings

  • Community wellness centers

It’s valued for being simple, effective, and accessible — often offered in group settings to foster connection and healing.

Benefits of AcuDetox

Patients often report:

  • Reduced cravings and withdrawal symptoms

  • Improved sleep and emotional balance

  • Lower stress and anxiety

  • Greater sense of calm and clarity

Research shows that AcuDetox can help regulate the nervous system, reduce cortisol, and support emotional resilience — making it a valuable adjunct to counseling, medical care, and community support.
