Quit Smoking
Acupuncture is a natural method of nicotine addiction.
With one to five sessions, there is a good chance that the smokers will be free of their addiction.
Acupuncture does not stop smoking, but significantly reduces the intensity and duration of the withdrawal syndrome. It helps the brain to quickly produce its own substances (β endorphin, dopamine) that will replace the euphoric, antidepressant and tonic effect of nicotine.
For smoking cessation, 5-10 needles are placed in the earlobe, face and hands. The needles are left in place for about 30 minutes and then removed. The result appears in 6-8 hours after the treatment. The next day the smoker will feel a reduced desire to smoke and withdrawal symptoms will be milder. At the same time, symptoms of aversion to smoke will appear.
