What is Acudetox? Understanding the NADA Protocol

Acudetox, also known as the NADA 5-point ear acupuncture protocol, is a standardized auricular acupuncture treatment that uses five specific ear points to help regulate your nervous system. Originally developed to aid in addiction recovery, this auricular detoxification technique has evolved into a restorative tool for anyone navigating stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, or burnout.


Using five tiny needles placed in specific points on your ears, this treatment helps regulate the nervous system, release tension, and support emotional and energetic balance.


The five NADA protocol points we target include:


  • Sympathetic Point - Balances the sympathetic nervous system, has strong analgesic and relaxant effects on internal organs, dilates blood vessels, and reduces stress hormones for deep relaxation
  • Shen Men (Spirit Gate) - Produces sedative effects, supports sleep, and provides neuropsychiatric support. Known as the "spirit gateway," it has a calming effect on mind and body
  • Kidney Point - Strengthens the kidney system, supports emotional regulation, reduces fear and anxiety, and builds willpower and resilience
  • Liver Point - Supports eye health, helps resolve aggression and anger, processes emotional stagnation, and supports the body's natural detoxification processes
  • Lung Point - Assists with respiratory health, helps process grief and letting go, and supports the body's ability to release what no longer serves

Why Choose NADA-Certified Treatment?

NADA certification represents rigorous training in the specific 5-point auricular protocol that has been refined over decades. The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association estimates that 25,000 practitioners have been trained worldwide, but finding a certified practitioner in Central Texas is uncommon.

Mandy's NADA training ensures you receive:

  • The exact, research-backed five-point ear acupuncture protocol
  • Proper sterile needle technique and safety protocols
  • Understanding of how each auricular point affects your nervous system
  • Integration with comprehensive wellness approaches
  • Connection to a global community of evidence-based practitioners

The Science Behind NADA: Research-Based Results

Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed journals support the use of the NADA protocol for treating various conditions. Research shows improvements in:


  • Treatment engagement and retention rates
  • Quality of life scores and overall wellness
  • Sleep quality and energy levels
  • Reduced anxiety and depression symptoms
  • Decreased substance cravings
  • Better emotional regulation

Real-World Applications: The NADA protocol has been successfully used in disaster relief efforts worldwide. After the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, an acudetox "stress reduction clinic" began in Manhattan, providing over 1,000 treatments in the first 10 days. After the 2011 Joplin, Missouri tornado disaster, 700 treatments were provided to offer relief from trauma, with overwhelmingly positive results including reduction in physical pain and improved sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ear acupuncture hurt? Most people feel little to nothing during needle insertion. The auricular acupuncture needles are incredibly fine—much thinner than vaccination needles. Some describe a brief pinch that quickly subsides, while others feel nothing at all.


Is the NADA protocol safe? Absolutely. We use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict clean needle techniques. Acudetox is one of the safest complementary therapies available with virtually no side effects when performed by NADA-certified practitioners.


How many auricular acupuncture sessions do I need? This varies by person and situation. Some people feel relief after one session, while others benefit from weekly treatments for several weeks. We'll work together to determine what's right for your unique needs.


Can I do acudetox if I'm afraid of needles? Many needle-phobic clients are surprised by how comfortable auricular acupuncture feels. The needles used in the NADA 5-point protocol are so thin and the insertion so gentle that most people forget they're there after a few minutes.


What should I wear to my appointment? Wear comfortable clothing. You'll want easy access to your ears, but otherwise no special preparation is needed for your acudetox session.


Can I combine NADA protocol with other treatments? Absolutely! Auricular acupuncture works beautifully alongside other wellness services like ear seeding, traditional acupuncture, or any healing practices you're already doing.


How will I feel after my treatment? Most people report feeling deeply relaxed, centered, and "more like themselves." Some experience very restful sleep after their session.


How is acudetox different from regular acupuncture? The NADA protocol uses only five specific auricular points and doesn't require diagnosis or customization. It's a standardized approach focused on behavioral health, trauma, and addiction support.


What conditions respond best to the NADA protocol? Auricular detoxification is particularly effective for stress, anxiety, PTSD, addiction recovery, sleep issues, and emotional trauma. It's also helpful for general wellness and nervous system regulation.


Who can receive acudetox treatment? Most people can safely receive auricular acupuncture. We'll discuss any health conditions or concerns during your consultation to ensure it's appropriate for you.
