Smoking Cessation Program

Now is the time to stop smoking. Acupuncture can help. 

Smoking damages the respiratory system, the heart and circulatory system, and the nervous system. It causes cancers, chronic bronchitis, pneumo-heart syndromes, stomach and duodenal ulcers, and liver cirrhosis. Smoking increases the death rate related with those disorders.

According to acupuncture theory, the poisonous substances in cigarettes cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang. The chemicals in cigarettes cause the dysfunction of Zang-Fu organs and Qi and Blood.

Acupuncture smoking cessation programs can help you quit the smoking habit. It reduces the symptoms of withdraw which can include lower energy, restlessness, belching, reduced taste, heaviness in the chest, anxiety, depression, and lack of sensation. Acupuncture rebalances the Yin and Yang, harmonizes the Zang-Fu, helping you regain a state of health and well-being. 

My program consists of a 5 day period including 3 acupuncture treatments, a herbal tea to be consumed two to three times daily, and a workbook containing dietary guidelines and other exercises to help with the lifestyle change of becoming a non-smoker. Please call for more details (210) 204-2305.
