An Introduction to Auricular Acutherapy
Auricular Acutherapy refers to the application of acupressure with seeds or acupuncture with pins on specific points on the surface of the ear, with the aim of supporting the bodies own healing mechanisms. The NADA 5-point protocol was developed in the U.S. over 50 years ago and it is used in prisons, addiction treatment, and mental health services around the world.
An Introduction to Acutherapy will give you a good understanding of the benefits of treatment for service users and the benefits for your service, the evidence base, the scope of treatment, and how to implement acutherapy with pins or seeds in treatment programs. You will have a go at ear seeding, and will leave with a seeds starter pack and ear seeding booklet.

Donate to support our C.I.C.
Support our free community activities on GoFundMe
Prick Up Your Ears C.I.C. is on a mission to bring the benefits of ear acutherapy to those who need it most, and we need your help. Since our launch in April, we’ve attended 18 community events, providing over 280 free ear-seed treatments to individuals for overall wellbeing and various health issues. These treatments are often inaccessible to many, as they’re typically offered only through private channels or limited to drug and alcohol services.
With your support through our GoFundMe page we can continue our voluntary activities and expand our reach. We are applying for funding to set up regular sessions in multiple locations, but every small donation makes a difference. Please share our cause or contribute if you can. Together, we can promote better health and wellness in our community. Thank you for considering our mission!
