In a 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. When you quit smoking you are attempting to remove your bodies chemical dependence on the chemicals found in cigarettes such as nicotine and all of the other artificial additives cigarette manufacturers add to their products. Methods such as nicotine patches and gum simply change the delivery method of how the body gets its nicotine fix. They get you off smoking, but make you dependent on the patch or gum instead. 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. From this TCM point of view your withdrawal symptoms are the results of impaired liver function caused by your tobacco addiction. Your liver has become artificially stimulated by the tobacco and the withdrawal of tobacco means that your liver has less energy. It is this drop in liver energy that causes your withdrawal symptoms.

Acupuncture works by stimulating the liver function to compensate for the lack of stimulation caused by withdrawal of the tobacco. 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.
