Our Quit Smoking Program breaks the nicotine addiction by tackling it from 3 angles.
1) Ear Acupuncture using laser therapy can break the addiction cycle
2) Herbs & supplements to block nicotine receptors, reduce cravings and detoxify the body
3) Support and Education.
Our program is designed for 3 weeks of treatment. A minimum of 6 treatments is recommended.
This is NOT a "reduce smoking" program, it's a "quit smoking program". This means NO MORE CIGARETTES EVER. This program is only effective if you are ready.
In the first visit, we address the following:
a) Establish why you want to quit and if this is the right time to do so.
b) Establish a quit date:________________
c) For best results do the following:
o Choose a quit date that is early in the week. Chances of relapse are higher over the weekend. Remember, the first 3-4 days are the most critical.
o On quitting day, dispose of ALL cigarettes, ashtrays, lighters at home, work and vehicle.
o Find 5 healthy habits you can do to replace your smoking routine ( ex. Short walk, glass of water, eat a carrot/celery stick, chew gum, bike ride, call a friend etc).
