NADA India, a NGO, and Indian Association of Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist, in association with 7 Radiations- SATCH (Sanctum of Alternate Therapies and Conscious Healing), will be conducting a one-day workshop on August 12 on ear acupuncture for people who suffer from various addictions such as smoking, alcohol, and drugs. The acupuncture protocol or NADA protocol was developed by US-based Dr. Michael O. Smith in 1970. Dr. Smith is the founder and chairman of NADA International.
‘Globally accepted’
According to the local organiser Rachana Nitin, the NADA protocol has been globally accepted after undergoing a number of tests in clinical settings and has proved to be beneficial in detoxification from substance abuse as well as to help with the emotional, physical and psychological problems attributed to addictions.

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.
