Humans have two substances called serotonin and endorphins. These are located in the brain and are related to emotions such as comfort, pleasantness, pleasure and peace. Normally, when people laugh, receive happy news, eat chocolate or a nice dessert, when you feel sore, serotonin and endorphin levels rise.
However, since cigarettes take over the secretion of serotonin – endorphin in smokers, the body has lost its autonomy. In those who quit smoking, the body has 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.
Ear acupuncture is applied to quit smoking. The importance of ear acupuncture is that it cuts off the body’s desire for cigarettes. Since it causes hypersensitivity to cigarettes, as well as extreme disgust and nausea against cigarette smoke or odor, there is no smoking during the treatment. The patient quits smoking comfortably without being stressed and without an appetite.
Because when auricular acupuncture is applied, auricular acupuncture is applied to the points that have appetite suppression points and calming the brain.
