Acupuncture Proves Successful in Helping People Quit Smoking

(NaturalNews) Anyone who has tried to quit smoking knows how hard it can be. The withdrawal symptoms can be too much for many people to cope with for long, and as the stress and edginess builds the first thing they reach for is their trusty old smokes. There are many products and therapies such hypnosis, chewing gum, patches and yoga that all claim to take the edge off and help ease you through the difficult process of quitting smoking. But there is one therapy that many people would never consider, and one that is recommended by the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), acupuncture.
The first thing that many people try on the road to becoming a non-smoker is patches. These patches work by putting the addictive nicotine back in to the body therefore reducing your craving to smoke. The problem is that your body is still used to receiving nicotine, and as soon as you stop wearing the patches you will instantly reach for the smokes to satisfy this craving.
Another popular treatment for people who wish to stop smoking is hypnosis. Hypnosis is meant to work by strengthening your will power. It does this by repeating over and over again that you don't want to and don't need to smoke. This is all done while the patient is in a relaxed hypnotic state making the subconscious more open to outside suggestion. Hypnosis practitioners claim that taking part in these sessions will increase your chances of stopping smoking by 1000%. This jump goes from just 6%, with will power alone, to 60% with hypnosis sessions. The main problem with this form of treatment is that you have to believe 100% in hypnosis itself and as there is no real scientific evidence to back it up that can be very difficult for many people.
Acupuncture works by placing long thin needles at specific points all over the body. This will stimulate blood flow, therefore increasing the amount of oxygen that is delivered around your body and the number of toxins that are flushed out. These points are known as acupoints and have been used for thousands of years to help cure all sorts of ailments. But when it comes to smoking acupuncture is so effective because it deals with the main reason that most people smoke in the first place, stress. Experts claim that acupuncture has a success rate of around 85 and 90%, which would make it one of the most successful procedures for helping people quit smoking. The procedure helps relax the mind and releases endorphins in the body. These endorphins will give you an enhanced feeling of well being and will block out any of the negative feelings associated with withdrawal symptoms.
So in the end it comes down to one simple question, how much longer do you want to live?

I have developed a successful stop-smoking program for over a decade of research and implementation. I use a dynamic approach that focuses on why you are smoking, the resistance in stopping, helping you access your need for stopping smoking, and developing a plan for you living as a non-smoker.
The things that I use in your treatment success are:
Auriculotherapy (ear acupuncture)

Call for your initial health screening evaluation to get started on the program. If you aren't ready now, then I will be here when you are. |

Advanced Acupuncture for Pain
This has been my latest training from Dr. Wei Liu, MD (China). This training for the elimination of pain is based on his grandfather's system development, and Dr. Wei's skill as an Orthopedic surgeon and Acupuncturist in China. I was able to learn techniques and ways of treating conditions of pain that are not normally taught in the US. These techniques can greatly reduce healing time in muscular complaints and nervous system dysfunction ranging from injury to migraines, and others.
