NADA ear acupuncture for Wellness and Preliminary relaxation before Yoga and Meditation class

Sh.Dharmanand ji in charge Adhyatam Sadhana Kendra
in a acudetox based pre-meditation session  


Dear Dharmanand ji,
Thank you for allowing me and the Nada India Foundation to visit your temple (Adhyatam Sadhana Kendra ) in this February 2012 for Acudetox Trainings and acudetox sessions.  We conducted a small demonstration clinic on several afternoons, and ear acupuncture for wellness and preliminary relaxation before your evening yoga and meditation class.  Both activities seemed well received.




It was a pleasure to be part of such a diverse healing environment, including your acupressure walk.  

















 As an allopathic (Western medicine)  doctor by original training, I can tell you that the articles in “AdhyatmaYog”on heart disease are excellent.  We should all rely on basic good nutrition and simple health balancing procedures rather than focusing on high income mechanical techniques.  Your advice is just as valuable in the pseudo-developed world as in India.

We met many committed high quality people who are attending activities in your temple.
Thank you again,

 Michael O. SmithMD,DAC , Founding coordinator,  NADA Internationa

The Future of Quitting: NADA Protocol and AI Transform Tobacco Cessation

Tobacco Cessation: From Inner Calm to AI-Driven Solutions —  A Path Shaped by NADA protocol In an era increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence and digital innovations, tobacco cessation strategies must evolve to address both emotional and technological dimensions. While AI-powered conversational solutions offer promising avenues to assist individuals in quitting tobacco and preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the most profound change often begins internally.  As Dr. Michael O. Smith, founder of the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA), aptly stated, “NADA acupuncture teaches us to relax from the inside out.”  This internal transformation is crucial. Individuals, particularly adolescents, youth, women, and marginalized communities, often grapple with stress, trauma, or stigma, making discussions about tobacco use, mental health, or domestic violence challenging. To surmount these barriers, a fusion of compassionate, community-based met...
