Quitting smoking can be one of the most difficult things to do. Nicotine addiction is very powerful and many people have tried and failed to quit many times. Acupuncture is an excellent alternative to medications, gum, patches, etc. It works by stimulating endorphins and other neurotransmitters that are directed to parts of the brain that are most sensitive to addictive substances.
Acupuncture treatment greatly reduces the craving for smoking and symptoms of withdrawal such as irritability, hunger, shakiness, sleeplessness, etc. Ultra-fine needles are inserted in the ear for 30-35 minutes. Between treatments, small press pellets are placed there so the patient can apply pressure whenever they have a craving to smoke.
We usually recommend a minimum of 5 treatments over 2-3 weeks so that patients are successful in quitting and staying off cigarettes. We have an 80% success rate.
If you are committed to becoming a non-smoker, you will find that acupuncture will be of great benefit to you. If you have tried and failed using other methods, try acupuncture. It’s safe, natural and very effective.
