Community 5NP (Five Needle Protocol) Auricular Acupuncture is a gentle, effective, and widely respected acupuncture treatment used to support the body, calm the mind, and regulate the nervous system. This simple five-point ear acupuncture protocol is used around the world to help with stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, emotional balance, pain relief, and overall wellness.

Amber Fleming of Earth’s Essentials Apothecary is trained, certified, and insured to administer the 5 Needle Point Auricular Acupuncture protocol, and is honored to offer this powerful community healing practice to our local area.

This treatment is done in a quiet group setting, allowing participants to rest comfortably while the body naturally shifts into a relaxed, balanced state. Many people report feeling calm, grounded, clear-headed, and deeply restored after a session.
