Quitting smoking: Acupuncture is your natural, proven tool for success

 The #1 change you can make to improve your overall health is to quit smoking. It is the leading contributor to increased rates of: heart disease, hypertension, lung cancer, chronic bronchitis, mouth cancer & a host of other diseases.


It will also complicate ANY other health challenge you are trying to improve. In Boulder Colorado, smoking’s drying effects on the lungs is made even worse due to our constantly dry climate.

The NADA acupuncture protocol helps with detoxing from nicotine during the withdrawal period & with curbing the cravings that go along with it. It also helps to moderate the emotional, physical, and psychological elements connected with nicotine addiction.

Compared to nicotine gum, patches & other pharmaceuticals used to quit smoking, acupuncture is 100% natural method without any unwanted side effects or additional chemicals to your system.

My personal program consists of 7 x 45 minute treatments spanning over 4 weeks all done while resting in our comfortable recliners. The treatment involves a protocol of 5 ear points & a few body points. Then select points are stimulated with a mild electrical current.

There is no “magic bullet” solution out there anywhere to instantly & completely eliminate the physical or psychological dependency that has been built up & established for years. However acupuncture dynamically & powerfully works to ease the physical hardship of withdrawal & the anxiety & frustration of change while you reset your life & your lifestyle to one of vibrant health, independence, & freedom.

Other addictions that can benefit from Acupuncture:

• Coffee
• Specific food addictions: chocolate
• Pain medications & alcohol: helps to modify the pain, anxiety, & frustration
