Can
acupuncture help me stop smoking and finally quit smoking?
Houston
Acupuncture & Herb Clinic
provides programs for quit addiction. Acupuncture
has proven very effective in helping people to quit addictions such
as smoking, drinking, drugs, etc. Our quit smoking program
consists of acupuncture treatments plus herbs. For nervous
smokers, we may recommend herbs to calm the mind.
Our percentage rate of smokers who quit and remain free of the
addiction is quite high. Many people are able to greatly reduce or
quit after only one treatment, but our experience is that it is very
easy to pickup the habit again within a couple of weeks. This is
why we recommend a minimum of three treatments, with herbs.
“You need more will power!”
Is this what well-meaning friends and family tell you when you
discuss with them the hardship of quitting smoking? They only want
what’s best, but non-smokers can rarely understand the desperation a
smoker feels at failed attempts to quit smoking.
If you have had difficulties with will power, fear of weight gain,
stress or lack of desire to quit even though you know you should
this is a good time to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture
and herb therapy.
Acupuncture is a highly effective approach for
treating all addictions, such as quit smoking, drinking, drugs, etc.
Acupuncture quit smoking is a preferred and popular therapy for
people ready to kick the smoking habit. It is based on the
ancient traditional Chinese medicine theory that is over 3000
thousand year old, to eliminate and break the blockage of qi and
blood through the body and promote the overall health.
Most persons are not aware of the popularity of acupuncture when
helping people lose the desire to smoke. Nicotine patches, nicotine
gum and other treatments like these wean a smoker off of nicotine,
slowly lessening the amount of the drug the receptors In your brain
receives. This is an minimally effective for some. Why is
acupuncture so helpful beyond medicines, hypnosis or gums?
Here are some interesting reasons:
Acupuncture helps the body detoxify itself and clear nicotine:
Acupuncture quit smoking procedures involve insertion a hair thin
metallic needle into certain acupuncture points, to increase the
production of endorphins, which can regulate and clean the nicotine
inside of the body: acupuncture naturally stimulates the production
of endorphin
and other antibodies that help clear away the build up of nicotine
residue. The patch, gums and other nicotine related medicines
add nicotine to the body, but acupuncture rids nicotine.
Acupuncture alleviate the withdrawal symptoms and cravings:
Acupuncture increase the blood flow and enhance the circulation plus
generate more production of endorphins that all result in calming,
relaxing spiritual condition. On the other hand the
acupuncture procedure also improve self control and confidence. The
commonly associated emotions of quit smoking such as anxiety,
depression are effectively reduced.
With toxins removed your chances of no longer desiring the nicotine
are greatly increased. Herbs help maintain a healthy balance
in your system. You won’t crave nicotine any longer!
The concern one has for weight gain is dramatically diminished
because acupuncture successfully suppresses appetite and diminishes
food cravings.
Treatment recommendations:
Another benefit of acupuncture is price in the long
run. Gums, patches and medicines can be costly and results
vary. Acupuncture has a high success rate and saves money. In most
cases three, one-hour sessions are necessary within a ten day
period. Of course, the number of treatments depends on how many
years and how heavily you smoke. Most people quit smoking
successfully after 3 treatments.
Acupuncture is effective for many other reasons located through
out this website. There is a theme here. If you are healthier, free
of depression, eat well-balanced meals, get rest and exercise, the
desire to take up damaging habits like smoking decreased.
Acupuncture along with herb therapies help a person live a
healthier lifestyle. Isn’t healthy really the only way to live
if you value your life and all that a healthy body can accomplish?
