Disaster Trauma and AcuDetox in Post-9/11 Healing

The film Unimagined Bridges: Ear Acupuncture Treatment for Disaster Trauma documents NADA’s experience providing AcuDetox for trauma relief after New York’s 9/11 disaster. It chronicles ear acupuncture’s healing effects on those affected by 9/11 and hurricanes like Katrina and Rita. The film focuses on an ear acupuncture-based holistic healing program that helped First Responders and community members manage anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Laura Cooley‘s film demonstrates how ancient traditional healing techniques are being used to address acute trauma across the globe.

During the early 2000s, AcuDetox gained global recognition. NADA discovered its effectiveness in reducing stress, improving sleep, and aiding coping mechanisms, not only in people with substance abuse issues but also in those exposed to severe trauma. (NCBI)

AcuDetox and Disaster Relief

After 9/11, St. Vincent’s Hospital in Manhattan used auricular acupuncture to relieve insomnia and stress in medical staff, residents, and emergency personnel. AcuDetox is still offered at all five New York City Firehouse counselling centres and serves as a valuable outreach tool that connects emergency workers and trauma survivors to other services.

AcuDetox is effective for anyone affected by trauma, including survivors, mental health professionals, and emergency responders. Its calming effects happen quickly and can last for extended periods. Trauma expert Bessel van der Kolk highlights that traumatic experiences often block verbal processing. AcuDetox can benefit clients in a state of dissociation without needing them to speak.

Those who receive this treatment experience relaxation within minutes. Many trauma survivors report AcuDetox as beneficial in alleviating Acute Stress Disorder symptoms. Surveys show improvements in mental clarity, alertness, coping ability, and reduced symptoms like aches, pains, anxiety, and depression.

AcuDetox is an affordable, safe, and drug-free therapy for anxiety, PTSD, addiction recovery, depression, and trauma. The NADA Protocol can be used anywhere groups can gather. Programs using ear acupuncture have supported survivors of tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and refugee crises worldwide, as well as veterans with PTSD.

Programs incorporating ear acupuncture to offer relief have included:

  • Dakota reservations in the aftermath of a series of tornadoes
  • Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
  • Honduras residents displaced after a hurricane Refugee camps in Burma
  • Kashmir following earthquakes
  • Refugees in the US & Uganda
  • Veterans suffering from PTSD
