Almost everyone knows how harmful smoking is. Despite this, they cannot stop themselves from smoking. The reason for this is the addiction that nicotine creates in our body. One of the ways to counter this is acupuncture. We can add to this addiction the psychological habit created by the cigarette that keeps the person busy by keeping the five senses busy. As a result, cigarette addiction, which is difficult to get rid of, can lead to the emergence of many diseases. Of course, at the beginning of these diseases are those related to our lungs. Being able to breathe becomes a nightmare. It becomes difficult to get up comfortably in the morning. It becomes a source of bad smell. With the words I stop drinking tomorrow morning, given every evening, our lives are exhausted. However, getting rid of cigarettes with the help of acupuncture is not as difficult as one might think. Whether acupuncture is mentioned or not, it seems that acupuncture is the basis of most smoking cessation methods today. Acupuncture; It is a scientific treatment method that has been applied for human health for three thousand years and has become increasingly widespread as a result of intensive research in the West in recent years. With the application of acupuncture, needle, laser, etc. stimuli to the defined acupuncture points on the body, it ensures the release of neurotransmitters that have been sluggish in secretion due to the constant intake of nicotine in the brain, allowing the problems associated with nicotine deficiency to be easily overcome. The serotonin released by the effect of acupuncture makes the person feel more comfortable and peaceful.
Smoking treatment with acupuncture is completed in 5 sessions. Smoking is quit from the first session. Treatment takes about 2 weeks.
The aim of the application is to eliminate the WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME that occurs at the beginning of the period when the patient does not smoke.
A person who quits smoking may attack food, have headaches, not be able to concentrate on his work, be overly stressed and overreact to the smallest stimulus, or similar situations may arise. It is up to the patient not to lie down and buy a cigarette, not to try to test the effect of acupuncture, and to accept the help of acupuncture.
