what is 5-NP Acupressure?
5-NP Acupressure Protocol involves the gentle placement of up to five small, sterilized disposable seeds into specific acu-points on each ear. It is deeply relaxing and can promote increased calmness, better sleep, and relief from stress and emotional trauma. The recipients sit quietly in a group setting for 20 minutes allowing the treatment to take effect. We are able to see 5 people at a time. The group setting is important, as it amplifies an environment for healing.
Benefits:

All the five points serve to balance and assist the body’s nervous system and healing processes. Together the combined effect of the five point protocol restores calm.
History of the protocol:
In the 1970s, heroin was flooding the streets of New York City, hitting Black and Puerto Rican neighborhoods like Harlem and the South Bronx the hardest.
The 5 Needle Protocol (5-NP) emerged from the community health efforts of Dr. Mutulu Shakur alongside members of the Black Panther Party and the Young Lords, who collaborated with medical doctors at the South Bronx Lincoln Detox Hospital to create the first acupuncture detoxification program in the U.S. People were successfully detoxed from heroin with this approach. It has since spread across the globe, supporting people in addiction recovery, trauma healing, and disaster recovery.
