Stop Smoking Naturally
Auricular or ear acupuncture is a natural method for breaking the smoking habit. It is best suited to people who have made a definite decision to stop smoking and would like some physical support.
Smoking addiction falls into two rough categories:
- The chemical addiction to the nicotine.
- The habit and pattern of smoking.
Auricular acupuncture can help in both of these areas:
- It can dramatically reduce the withdrawal symptoms and cravings associated with stopping smoking. The acupuncture treatment itself is very relaxing and soothing.
- The client has seeds in place on the outer ear to press when the urge to smoke is strong, thus breaking the smoking habit.
The Three Week Course
The client receives two weekly treatments of auricular acupuncture in week 1 & 2 and one final treatment in week 3. A treatment involves one ear being needled and ear seeds (mustard seeds on tiny plasters) being stuck in the opposite ear. Each treatment lasts approximately 30-40 minutes.
