Quit Smoking via Acupuncture

Quakertown, PA, November 18, 2014 (Newswire.com) - November twenty, is the Great American Smokeout. It’s a time when millions of Americans take their first steps to kick the smoking habit. Every year, more than 3 million Americans try to quit smoking, but only half of them succeed. Most experts agree that quitting smoking is the single most important thing you can do for your health. More than 25 diseases are associated with tobacco use, including cancer of the lungs, bladder, mouth, larynx, pharynx, esophagus, pancreas, kidney, uterus and cervix. Smoking also raises the chances of developing emphysema, and increases the risk of having a stroke by 30 percent. There is plenty incentive to quit, but it isn’t easy. The good news is that acupuncture has helped millions of people to kick the smoking habit.

Flashpoint Acupuncture wants to help you increase your chances of success of kicking the habit and becoming smoke-free and healthier. Using acupuncture to quit smoking yields enormous benefits. Aside from taking care of the stumbling blocks that can cause you to resume the habit, acupuncture can help restore your body to a healthy state of balance and well-being. If you are ready to become smoke-free, acupuncture can provide you with the support you need.

Some of the largest stumbling blocks to becoming smoke-free are the stress, anxiety and depression associated with quitting. Fortunately, acupuncture treatment is quite successful at calming and relaxing the mind, reducing anxiety and alleviating depressive feelings. Specific acupuncture points in the ear are used to accomplish this." says  Friselina Locadia, L.Ac, owner and Acupuncturist in charge of the quit smoking event. "In addition, these points will help to suppress your appetite, and reduce food and nicotine cravings."
