Smoking
How
can Acupuncture help me to quit?
Acupuncture has been shown to:
>
Reduce cravings from nicotine withdrawal
>
Reduce enjoyment of cigarettes
>
Promote a sense of well-being
>
Reduce weight gain after quitting by reducing hunger (see
below)
How many treatments will it take to quit?
>
Every individual is unique and it is different for
everyone.
>
Usually, if treatments are more frequent in a short amount
of time the success is greater.
>
It is recommended to have 3 treatments per week for 2 weeks
initially.
>
Additional treatments are determined by individual needs.
>
People are often surprised at how much easier the quitting
process is with Acupuncture - even those who have tried to
quit before.
Remember:
If you quit, you will make up the money in a few months
since you will be saving the money spent on cigarettes.
Essentially, the program is free, in fact, depending on
how much you smoke; you may have savings in the bank!!!
Will my health insurance cover this?
>
Some plans will, you’ll have to check with your individual
policy.
>
In our experience, smokers that invest financially in the
program (i.e. pay for it themselves) have an extra
incentive to quit and thereby are more successful in
quitting.
:: Weight
Loss
`
>
Acupuncture is a great adjunct to a committed weight loss
program.
>
It is
not a magic pill or panacea but it can make it easier to
lose weight and maintain that weight loss.
>
It does
help with cravings, increasing metabolism, improving
digestion, improving elimination and helping to decrease
stress, frustration and anxiety that often leads to
unhealthy eating.
>
While
everyone is different a good place to start is a minimum
of 3 auricular treatments per week for at least 2 weeks.
>
There
is no guarantee that Acupuncture will be a miracle cure
but if a patient is self motivated, willing to take the
suggestions offered by the Acupuncture Physician, make
necessary lifestyle changes, nutritional changes and
commit to a suitable exercise program, there is a good
chance for successful weight management.
:: Addiction
>
Acupuncture is not a quick fix but can provide support
during acute and post-acute withdrawal from alcohol,
heroin, cocaine, and other drugs through relief of classic
symptoms.
>
Acupuncture has been found to be a useful entry point into
treatment especially for resistant individuals.
>
Acupuncture has been found to help with relapse
prevention.
>
Each
individual is different but if one is committed to change
and healing, this might be the extra support needed for
success.
:: General
Stress Reduction
>
From a
Chinese Medicine perspective, stress, like other symptoms
that may arise, stem from an imbalance in the system.
>
The
goal of Acupuncture is to allow the body to reassert
control and heal from a place of balance.
>
Stress manifests itself in many ways. Common symptoms are
headache, backache, skin disorders, gastric problems and
sleeping disorders. Psychological symptoms may include
depression, anxiety, poor concentration, poor memory and
loss of self confidence. There is mounting evidence that
chronic stress can lead to long term health problems.
>
With Acupuncture, the practitioner works to determine
where the stress is coming from in a person’s life and
helps to alleviate the symptoms.
>
While many individuals turn to drugs, alcohol, food and
prescription medications to deal with stress, Acupuncture
can offer a safe way to help the body manage stress and
provide a feeling of well-being and calmness.
>
Although, Acupuncture cannot change the circumstance of
your life, it can relieve feelings of anxiety and
depression, which may be serious handicaps for people
trying to cope with difficult domestic, social and work
problems.
>
It can give a person a feeling of tranquility and
self-confidence.
>
During treatments, you will find yourself relaxed in the
sacred space of the treatment room, the light will be soft
and soothing music will reach your ears allowing you to
drift into a peaceful state.
>
Emotionally speaking, most patients feel relaxed,
energetic or even cheerful after treatment.
>
Patients should begin to see improvement within 3-5
treatments. Most experience changes after their first
treatment, unless there are more serious underlying health
problems.
