Acupuncture is an effective tool to enable you to quit smoking.
It works by minimizing cravings, calming the nervous system
and strengthening willpower. Acupuncture can only work if
you are ready to quit and willing to commit to the process.
Acupuncture intercepts messages sent by the brain to the
body that demand more nicotine, thereby disrupting the addictive
process. It can eliminate most cravings and reduce withdrawal
symptoms.
The treatment consists mainly of auricular (ear) acupuncture.
Individual diagnosis and acupuncture is generally given once
a week, with follow up auricular (ear) acupuncture every two
to three days as needed. Also, in order to make your treatments
more effective, an herbal formula specifically for nicotine
detoxification is provided and patients receive support information
as well.
Please call the office to make an appointment or for more
information.
