The U.S. #Navy #Seabees with #Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (#NMCB) 5 can now receive #acupuncture #treatments as part of battlefield auricular acupuncture (#BFA). NMCB-5 is the first U.S. Navy deployable command to perform BFA.

Lt. Jeffrey Moy, NMCB-5’s medical officer, and several corpsmen at NMCB-5 can provide auricular acupuncture, which consists of inserting small gold #needles in the ear to treat #pain, #post-traumatic stress disorder (#PTSD), #nausea, and #addiction–such as tobacco cessation.
