This unique smoking cessation therapy works by balancing the brain chemicals cause nicotine cravings and addiction. A small electric current is delivered to specific reflex points in the ear which are connected to the nicotine addiction. This sends signals to the brain which balances the chemicals and reduces the cravings. Auricular therapy has been in use for more then 35 years and is a safe, pain free, drug free, cost-effective approach. It is also free from side effects.
At HealthQuest, a typical smoking cessation treatment session lasts about 60 minutes. The actual treatment takes about 20-30 minutes and the rest of the time is devoted to educative programs and discussions about the treatment. For most patients, one treatment session is sufficient to resolve the smoking addiction. Complete cessation of the smoking habit may take more time.
Effective resolution of smoking requires behavioral change and the will power to quit smoking. In view of this, HealthQuest supports its auriculotherapy treatment with behavior modification sessions and constant follow-up.
