Dangers of Smoking
Cigarette smoke contains about 7000 harmful chemicals and compounds, many of which are toxic. The effects of smoking on your body are almost immediate. These harmful chemicals enter your lungs when you inhale cigarette smoke, get absorbed into the blood stream and reach every organ in your body. Tobacco smoke damages DNA as well as the blood vessels, leading to cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and even sudden death. Smoking also damages the delicate lining of the lungs, often resulting in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Smoking cessation can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and aortic aneurysm as well as cancer of the lungs, larynx, mouth, esophagus, throat, and more.
The Benefits of Auricular Therapy Smoking Cessation Programs
Auriculotherapy is one of the most effective smoking cessation programs available today. The treatment involves the light electrical stimulation of specific points on the outer ear or auricle which are related to the nicotine addiction. Each ear point is stimulated at various frequencies for multiple time intervals.
This stimulation releases endorphins, naturally occurring substances that immediately get rid of the nicotine craving. At the same time, different points are stimulated that boost a patient’s respiratory system.
One of the greatest advantages of auricular therapy is that you do not experience any of the common nicotine-associated withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, nervousness, depression, insomnia, and so on. Other benefits:
• Viable drug-free option
• FDA-approved treatment
• Pain-free and medication-free
• Safe treatment with minimal side effects or complications
Each session lasts about 30 minutes, though multiple treatments may be needed in some cases. Auriculartherapy enjoys a high success rate. Get the treatment at an established healthcare center where the physician can provide you with a personalized smoking cessation treatment plan.
