Smoking
More than 58.5 million Americans smoke. Among current U.S. adult smokers, 65% report that they want to quit smoking and millions try to quit every year. It is estimated that most smokers will attempt to quit two or three times, or more, before finally kicking the habit. Cigarettes have 4,000 chemicals, including 43 known cancer-causing compounds and 400 other toxins. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tobacco is the cause of 421,000 premature deaths each year, and is associated with emphysema, lung cancer, shortness of breath, chronic cough, high blood pressure, and an increase in frequency of flue and cold.
Acupuncture To Quit Smoking
Acupuncture is an alternative approach to quit smoking because of its ability to reduce cravings and alleviate withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, restlessness and jitters. It also aids in relaxation and detoxification. Many patients also report that cigarettes taste different after a few treatments.
Acupuncture can increase the body’s natural production of endorphins and white blood cells to stimulate natural pain killers and harmonize the central nervous system. This releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord and brain to reduce pain and increase the body’s ability to heal. These biochemical changes support the body’s natural healing abilities, improve circulation, and promote physical and emotional well-being.

Acupuncture Effectively in Treating Quit Smoking.
Acupuncture is very effective in treating quit smoking. Treatment frequency and number of treatments needed depend on a variety of factors; the severity and duration of the symptoms and the quality and quantity of your Qi. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take weeks or even months to achieve results. Angie may suggest one or two treatments per week, or monthly visits for health maintenance and seasonal “tune-ups”.
