Acupuncture To Quit Smoking
 |
One of the simplest, and most natural ways to treat smoking addiction is acupuncture. This centuries-old healing method has been used to treat a wide variety of acute and chronic diseases, including addiction of many types. I have personally helped hundreds of people quit smoking over my twelve years of practice. The 45 minute treatment is virtually pain-free and most people sleep through the entire process. The benefits to using acupuncture to quit smoking include:
- Provides a natural, drug-free method with few to no side-effects
- Most people avoid the rebound weight loss which often accompanies quitting
- Because it aids in relaxation, helps avoid anxiety and irritability associated with quitting
- Helps improve sleep and can offset rebound insomnia commonly linked with quitting
- Benefits are long lasting and most people see significant results after just the first treatment
- No need to go "cold turkey"...quitting happens on your own terms in a very natural manner
In summary, acupuncture is a safe, natural, and highly effective method of treating smoking addiction. A typical treatment protocol involves 2 or 3 treatments per week for up to 10 treatments. Often less than 10 are enough for most people, while those with stronger nicotine attachment may need the full protocol. Each 45 minute session involves the gentle insertion of five needles into strategic points in each ear, plus one in each wrist and ankle. Most everyone experiences deep relaxation and deep sleep is often attained during the session. Though never a guarantee, most people experience reduced desire for smoking after the first session.
