Are You Ready to Quit Smoking Now?
Acupuncture can empower you to take control and begin a healthy and smoke-free life!
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice which uses needles placed at specific spots in the skin to treat pain or disease. It is used today to treat addiction to nicotine.
Acupuncture is a safe and effective approach to smoking cessation due to its ability to reduce cravings and alleviate withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety and difficulty concentrating.
How Does Acupuncture Help Break the Cigarette Habit?
Acupuncture is successful with smoking cessation and has turned a growing number of cigarette smokers into permanent ex-smokers. Treatments take all of your symptoms into account and aim at balancing the energy within the body to optimize health.
The acupuncture treatments focus on jitters, cravings, irritability and restlessness; all symptoms that people commonly complain about when they quit. It also aids in relaxation and detoxification.
The acupuncture needles used are hair-thin. They are superficially inserted into various points in the ears and body to assist with smoking cessation.
In between treatments, small pellets are often taped to the acupuncture points on the ear. When a cigarette craving hits, gently pressing on the pellets stimulates the acupuncture points to calm the mind and eliminate the craving.
Each patient is custom-treated according to his or her specific and unique diagnosis. Usually a combination of body acupuncture points and points on the ear are used that are believed to influence the organs and energetic pathways associated with smoking.

Fresh juice is a nutrient-dense living liquid that is absorbed almost instantly into the body (in about 15 minutes!), requiring little effort to digest and assimilate. Juicing concentrates the most nutrient-dense parts of the plants in the juice. It is almost like receiving an intravenous infusion of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that goes right into your system without having to be broken down. Because the benefits are so instantaneous, you may feel the energy boost right away after drinking fresh juice!

Why it is so important to lose weight for your health: Did you know? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one-third of US adults were obese in 2007-2008. Studies have shown that a weight loss of 5% to 10% of body weight from baseline can result in meaningful improvements in cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., lipids, blood pressure and blood glucose) and a significant reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes. Losing weight should not be hard, nor should it take months and years to accomplish. It's all about taking really good care of yourself, managing your stress, exercising, and above all, following a proven program that offers you support and care. If you are really serious about, and committed to losing the extra weight and fat, becoming healthy in both body and mind, the Wholistic HCG Medical Weight Loss & Health Program may the perfect choice for you. You can get started on the path to a healthy body at our "Get Started" education classes every week at Glastonbry Naturopathic Center.
