French neurologist, Nogier created a Map correlating the ear to the rest of body. In 1972 Hsiang-Lai Wen, a neurosurgeon from Hong Kong, discovered needle inserted in the ear preoperatively help physical withdrawal symptoms of opium. Wen tried to recreate the same effect in heroin and opium addicted patients in 1973. The NADA standardized 3 to 5 points ear acupuncture protocol for drug and alcohol addiction was first introduced at Lincoln Hospital, New York. It provided more natural and nonpharmaceutical intervention for drug addiction programs. The ear acupuncture program was developed over the years under the guidance of Michael Smith, MD, DAc to standardized NADA protocol, a combination of Shen Men, Sympathetic, Kidney, Liver, and Lung. In 1985, NADA was founded by Smith and others to promote the training of behavioral health clinicians. The term “ Acudetox” was adopted to differentiate NADA acupuncture therapy from another form of acupuncture therapy. The “Acudetox” and “NADA protocol” was used interchangeably most of the occasions but both refer same treatment
