In the previous article Natural Ways To Quit Smoking methods to naturally quit smoking were discussed such as cold turkey, herbal remedies and hypnosis. They are not the only ways to naturally quit smoking. Quitting Smoking successfully requires putting an end to your bodies dependence on all the chemicals that have artificially been added to the tobacco as well as the nicotine. All you are doing by using nicotine patches or gum is changing the delivery method of how you receive your nicotine fix. They may help get you off the cigarettes but you become dependent on the substitute instead whether that is nicotine patches or gum. So wouldn’t it make more sense to use a method that doesn’t deliver any of these chemicals at all? If you see the sense in that perhaps you would like to try one of these methods to naturally quit smoking.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses needles inserted into meridian points in the body. TCM sees the withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking as the result of impaired liver function caused by nicotine addiction. Your liver has become artificially stimulated by the tobacco and the withdrawal of tobacco means that your liver has less energy. Your withdrawal symptoms are caused by this drop in liver energy.

Acupuncture stimulates the liver in order to make up for the lack of stimulation that has been caused by stopping smoking. This eases the withdrawal symptoms and eventually the liver function will return to normal.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

EFT is similar to acupuncture but has the advantage of being able to be applied by the smoker to themselves. Instead of inserting needles in to meridian points you tap on them with your finger tips. Whilst doing this tapping you focus your attention on the anxiety associated with smoking withdrawal. During the tapping process you do a sequence of mental exercises that state your intent about how you wish to be free of the withdrawal symptoms. This has a great de-stressing effect on the nervous system.

EFT only takes five minutes to learn and you can do it anytime and anywhere. It is now used by many practitioners around the world to help people with issues such as anxiety, fears and phobias. It is EFT’s success with relieving anxiety which can help the quitting smoker get through the withdrawal symptoms and stay a non smoker.
