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.
