Join us for this community acupuncture clinic on Saturday, October 15th from 1pm to 4pm for COMPLETELY FREE acupuncture treatments using the NADA acu-detox protocol, The Four Gates or both. This collaboration between @mondardacommunitycare, @poppyandstarherbs and @build_blood is hopefully the first in a series of monthly clinic days to help folks access care for trauma, stress, pain and addictions. No appointment is necessary to receive treatment, folks will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. Learn more about NADA ear acupuncture and The Four Gates below.

NADA~
The NADA protocol is an auricular(ear) acupuncture therapy supporting folks through trauma, stress, pain and addictions, to name a few.. The protocols history is deeply rooted in the community care of the Black Panthers and Young Lords who used this treatment to support their community specifically with opiate use and withdrawal. Please watch the documentary @dopeisdeath for the full history of this protocol and the communities it has supported for almost 50 years.

The Four Gates~
The Four Gates is a powerful and simple point combination consisting of two points needled bilaterally. Large Intestine 4 (Hegu), located on the hand, has a strong effect on the head and face, the immune system, and moves Qi through the whole body to relieve pain. Liver 3 (Taichong), located on the foot, regulates the Liver and is also a strong Qi mover. It has a calming effect on the nervous system, invigorates the blood, and can help ease menstrual irregularities, headaches, and dizziness. Both are extremely potent points, as they are both source points which tap into the deep primordial Qi of the channels they are on. When used together they circulate and redistribute Qi and Blood throughout the entire body. They relieve stagnation on a physical level which may manifest as pain, spasms, or tension, and they help relieve emotional stagnation as well, which may be experienced as irritability, stress, depression, anxiety, or simply just feeling stuck and unable to move forward in life.
