NADA was developed by an American doctor who discovered that ear acupuncture could significantly alleviate the withdrawal symptoms of drug addicts in connection with detoxification and psychotherapy.

NADA is short for National Acupuncture Detoxification Association. Since then, it has been learned that the method is beneficial for a wider spectrum of ailments and that it is an excellent supplement to other forms of treatment such as cognitive therapy, mindfulness, stop smoking, diet, fear therapy, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, anger management, sleep problems etc.
