STOP SMOKING WITH ACUPUNCTURE |
 Auricular acupuncture points are used to help patients quit smoking. |
Regular use of nicotine causes addiction which makes giving up the smoking habit very difficult. Headaches, tension, nausea and irritability are some of the traditional symptoms of withdrawal suffered when habitual users try to quit smoking on their own. Acupuncture detoxifies the body and corrects the neurochemical imbalance caused by nicotine. Acupuncture may also alleviate the withdrawal symptoms. Many patients report cigarettes do not taste good after the treatment. For those with a tendency to gain weight, an extra needle can be inserted to curb the appetite. Acupuncture is also a safe and effective treatment in drug addiction and alcohol dependency. |
