Effects

The NADA protocol was created and used by the Black Panthers, the Young Lords, and the Republic of New Afrika as a tool for liberation and community health. It consists of placing 5 small, sterile disposable needles into specific points in the ear. After placing the needle people sit for 20 to 30 minutes with the needles in.

This treatment is used to release chronic stress, promote general relaxation, and nervous system nourishment. The points reduce cravings, help reset the nervous system, increase calm, help sleep and relieve stress. We will look at how to needle each point and talk more in depth about their effects.
