Did you know acupuncture
has a very effective treatment to help you or your friends to quit
smoking? A study completed in Perrysburg Ohio with 6,500 people
resulted in 85% of the participants able to quit with only one
treatment. The one hour session is considered to be a detox
treatment and most people report the urge to smoke is gone.
For those that need more work than the six needles for the
treatment, they can help themselves with a simple affirmation
statement they repeat several times a day. This is positively
stated such as: “I am so happy that I choose to be smoke free”.
This helps to keep the will firmly in the forefront and supports
one to reinforce and strengthen their resolve. After all,
cigarettes have been a persons ‘best friend’ for the several years
that you have smoked. It has been there for you when you
celebrate, when you are anxious, when you have a deadline to meet,
when you are angry, when you want to relax, when you can’t sleep
or when you had a bad dream and for all the stressful times.
It is also important to adopt effective stress management
practices in your life style because a cigarette does reduce
stress. So you have got to replace it! Many choose a regular
massage, some do tai chi, yoga, or workout regularly, and a few
people meditate or get acupuncture to manage stress. Try an
assortment of things for yourself and choose what you like the
best for your daily stress management. Finally, and perhaps best
of all, the one acupuncture treatment to quit smoking costs less
than two cartons of cigarettes. This treatment is locally
available at Eden World in Yellow Springs, Tipp City/Huber
Heights, and Centerville.
