Natural-Ease Smoking Withdrawal Kit
Last year I put together this stop smoking kit for patients to encourage them to keep up the good work, and ease the withdrawal from smoking naturally and effectively. With only a few Acupuncture treatments, and these simple yet very helpful suggestions, each is on their way to success.


1)Take Time for Self: do whatever makes you happy and free of stress and get away from your regular routine whenever possible

2)Get Plenty of Sleep

3)Drink Plenty of Water

4)Eat Plenty of Fruit or some Natural Soy Icecream:this helps raise blood sugar levels, and satisfy some of the cravings.

5)Natural Sodas: I am not an avid supporter for carbonated beverages of any kind however the tang helps keep the edge off of cravings. the natural sodas are better for you and can be obtained at healthfood stores. If you absolutely insist on regular sodas for flavor, then go for it until you have kicked your smoking habit. Just make sure you dont pick up the habit of drinking sodas in it's place.btw: a little caffeine is good(dont over do it).

6)Long Relaxing Baths with Candles : With Bubbles if you prefer:)

7)Aroma Therapy: anything you can get your hands on that smells good to you is very important to keep around and smell when a craving comes on. here are some suggestions; aromatic bath beads, scented candles, body spray,aromatic inhaler, Incense

8)Aromatic Inhaler(a must!): found in GNC vitamin stores, and some healthfood stores. I cant stress this enough as scents are very important to sniff when a craving comes on. it really makes you feel special and loved when you smell them, knowing you are being good to you:)Note: if you cant find an aromatic inhaler try tiger balm(just ask your customer service to help you find it).

9)Chapstick: again with use of aroma therapy you are looking for scents like peppermint or eucalyptus oil.

10)Chinese Herbal Pills: (ja wei xiao yao wan)A formula of specifically combined use of herbs that combat stress and some lighter anxiety.
NOTE:You can get this by contacting me(520-440-5770) or another Acupuncturist. Another formula may be perscribed if anxiety and panic attacks are moderate to severe, if you have trouble sleeping etc.

11)A Series of visits to your Acupuncturist:
I give acupuncture treatments and place little tiny seeds on the ear to stimulate specific acupuncture points to help with craving and withdrawal. these are left on so that you may stimulate them as needed until your next visit. Other Herbal formula's will be perscribed as needed.

Combining as many of these as possible and licking the smoking habit is greatly increased and you will have success!

Any Other Questions, feel free to give me a call,
