Stop Smoking

Every year, more than 3 million Americans try to quit smoking, but only half of them succeed. With the help of acupuncture you have a much greater chance of success!

Most experts agree that quitting smoking is the single most im­portant thing you can do for your health. More than 25 diseases are associated with tobacco use, including can­cer of the lungs, bladder, mouth, larynx, pharynx, esopha­gus, pancreas, kidney, uterus, and cervix. Smoking also raises the chances of devel­oping emphysema and in­creases the risks of having a stroke by 30 percent.

There is plenty of incentive to quit, but it isn’t necessarily easy. The good news is that acupuncture has helped mil­lions of people to overcome their addictions and stay smoke-free.

Some of the largest stumbling blocks to becoming smoke-free are the stress, anxiety, and depression associated with quitting. Fortunately, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine is quite successful at calming, and relaxing the mind, reducing anxiety and alleviating depressive feelings.

At The Acupuncture Wellness Center of Coral Springs, we select specific acupoints in the ear and wrist to accomplish this. Additional acupoints Chinese herbs may be included that help suppress your appetite, stimulate repair and healing of organ systems, and reduce food and nico­tine cravings.

Using acupuncture to quit smoking yields enormous bene­fits. Aside from addressing the key problems that can cause you to resume the habit, acupuncture can help restore your body and its systems to a healthy balance. If you are ready to become smoke-free, acupuncture can provide you with the support you need.
