All you have to do is decide to quit smoking. This is one of the most important decisions a person can make in their life. Once you have made this decision, acupuncture will make it easier for you to quit smoking.
Humans have two substances called serotonin and endorphins. These are located in the brain and are related to feelings such as comfort, pleasantness, pleasure and peace. Normally, when people laugh, receive happy news or eat chocolate or a nice dessert, serotonin and endorphin levels increase when you feel sore. However, since cigarettes take over the secretion of serotonin – endorphins in smokers, the body has lost its autonomy. You know, when you are happy or worried, you smoke a cigarette, this is the explanation.
In those who quit smoking, the body experiences a very difficult time as the brain cannot perform its job of secreting serotonin in the first week. The brain starts to do its old job only after 72 hours. If the withdrawal symptoms are avoided during this 72-hour period, it becomes very easy for the patient to quit smoking. Treatment with acupuncture eliminates the complaints that may occur due to not smoking. Thus, the person who decides not to smoke achieves this without any difficulty; Because, acupuncture treatment stimulates the brain to release serotonin and endorphins without the need for smoking again, and after the stimulation, the brain regains its former autonomy.
In our center, Laser acupuncture, Magnetic Field therapy, Pure Oxygen therapy and Neural Therapy are applied together without the use of needles in the treatment of smoking cessation. A needle-free, painless method is applied by stimulating the points detected in the ear with a laser and making this warning continuous with plant seeds.
In the treatment of smoking cessation, acupuncture reduces the person’s desire for cigarettes, deteriorates the taste of cigarettes, and eliminates irritability, trembling and withdrawal symptoms that occur when not smoking. If the person wants to smoke, it is provided to quit smoking in a single session by revealing the feeling of nausea and hatred of the smell.
In how many sessions can smoking be stopped with acupuncture?
It is a treatment that takes 45 minutes in total. Thus, the body is under control in the most difficult period of 72 hours. Additional sessions may then be performed depending on the patient’s degree of addiction, but this is usually not necessary. During the treatment, not even a single cigarette should be smoked and nicotine preparations should not be used. Otherwise, we’re back to where we started.
What is the success rate in quitting smoking with acupuncture treatment?
It has a high success rate of 90-95%.
