Mind Body & Soul

While traditional methods of quitting smoking are popular and available almost everywhere, there are some exotic ways of quitting that might be of interest to some smokers. There has not been any scientific proof or research proving these methods are effective of quit smoking, but people tend to trust them. Before trying smoking alternatives, a person is strongly recommended to consult a doctor and find an experienced specialist.

Acupuncture

This is a technique of inserting fine needles into certain points of person’s body to control or fix various processes: relieve pain, treat allergies, lose weight, and help with indigestion. For treating smoking, cessation specialists apply needles to certain parts of the ears. The complete cycle is done within a few visits (four or five). The acupuncture specialists claim that this method helps even those who tried other techniques and did not succeed.

Hypnosis

Individuals are affected by hypnosis differently, which is why this method might help one person and be absolutely useless for another. This is why it is impossible to say whether or not hypnosis is effective in treating smoking cessation. However, some people claim that it works well, even after only one session. The followers of hypnosis say it has an advantage over all other methods. It uses the power of positive suggestion to help stop smoking, so besides helping one to quit, hypnosis develops and strengthens one’s will and assurance, in order to come to the right result.

Herbal Supplements

As a rule, herbal preparations come under dietary supplements and do not need FDA approval as ordinary drugs do. In addition, manufacturers do not have to prove their effectiveness. Such herbal mixtures usually contain Lobelia (Indian tobacco), Mimosa tea, Chinese CaoSu, Kava, Chamomile, Oak, or Willow. A participant should keep in mind that even though there are a lot of articles telling how good herbs are in assisting smoking cessation, there have been no studies about this because dietary supplements do not need them in order to be sold.
