NEW BOOK!

A new, evidence-based, book that demystifies ear acupuncture by describing the complex network of nerves leading signals from the ear to the brain. It describes how ear acupuncture, ear acupressure (by beads, seeds or magnets) and electrical stimulation in the ear (taVNS) modulates neurotransmitters and hormones and thereby improves pain and other somatic symptoms, boosts the immune system, and enhances psychological wellbeing.

The book gives hands-on instructions, including a detailed manual for ear acupuncture and ear acupressure in pain, migraine, sleep, anxiety and depression, neurological diseases including epilepsy, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, withdrawal symptoms and drug craving, allergic rhinitis, gastrointestinal, urological, gynecological and pregnancy related problems. The suggestion of points is based on research, referring to hundreds of scientific articles and reporting the level of evidence for each symptom. Finally, the book discusses the rationality of using ear acupuncture and ear acupressure as an adjunct in a wide variety of health care settings. The book is useful for all health care professionals, including acupuncturists, students and decisionmakers.

The book will be available in English in May 2026. Hardcover, 195 pages, print-on-demand.

From the foreword by Dr Kenneth “Khensu” Carter, US NADA President: “Kajsa´s writing is an easy read that is warm, engaging. This NADA book is full of heart both her own and the heart of NADA–’s mission, aspiration, and purpose. It does much to capture the spirit of NADA in its many aspects across the patient and practice spectrum. I will be recommending this book to novice NADA practitioners and to experienced NADA trainers. There is something here for everyone.”

From the foreword by PhD Beverley de Valois, researcher and acupuncturist: “it is much needed and will be a huge asset to the extensive global NADA network. … Her explanation of what the NADA protocol is, and how to administer it, is clear, comprehensive, and hugely informative. … she has conveyed the fascination and spirit of NADA in a work that also communicates its practical, clinical, and scientific facets. It is immensely readable, and once I started, I could not stop.”
