Trying to quit smoking can be tough even with the aid of prescription drugs or nicotine patches, gums or inhalers.
Fortunately, achieving your goal of complete sobriety is that much easier when acupuncture is included as part of your treatment. Acupuncture helps to reduce cravings and calm the severity of withdrawal symptoms.
A study conducted with heavy smokers (over 20-26 cigarettes a day) discovered that acupuncture may ‘help motivated smokers to reduce their smoking, or even quit smoking completely, and the effect may last for at least 5 years. Acupuncture may affect the subjects’ smoking by reducing their taste of tobacco and their desire to smoke‘ (He D., Medbo JL., Hostmark AT, 2001).
As a patient undergoing the journey to quit smoking, you’ll find that Henry employs extensive use of ear acupuncture as part of your treatment regimen. This sort of treatment is actually standard for quit smoking regimens in China and Taiwan (ROC); the treatment you receive from Henry would be exactly the same treatment you’d expect in a Chinese hospital.
