Chinese Herbs Treatment for Stop Smoking
|
Acupuncture is a very effective therapy to help people stop smoking.
It works to relax and strengthen the body and helps the body stand
on its own and do not need external stimulus to relax it. The
treatment can also strengthen lungs and reduce the desire to smoke.
After the treatment, patients may either stop the craving for
cigarettes or start to dislike the smell of smoking. After acupuncture,
small herbal seeds are left in patients' ears for them to press
to strengthen the treatment effect.

Case history
|
A woman in her thirties came to us three years ago. She
was a heavy smoker and had smoked for more than 10 years.
After a couple of treatments she stopped smoking totally.
A few months ago, she was very stressful and anxious because
of unforeseen personal circumstances. So she started to
smoke again(although not heavily). She came to us for help.
After only one session treatment, she stopped smoking again.
She had another reinforce treatment and then back to her
normal life. Because her stress was alleviated greatly as
well (This is quite often the 'bonus' of the treatment).

Patient Testimonial
|
I nave been smoking for almost 16 years. I first visit
John and Qing on 24 November 2004.
|
I was told that maybe I was going need about 2 or 3 sessions.
But only about one session I Do not feel the need to smoke.
So I would definitely recommend acupuncture to anyone who
need it.
