Acupuncture:
Safe and Effective
Acupuncture can safely and effectively help you quit using nicotine. Acupuncture stimulates the brain to release endorphins which produce a profoundly soothing effect. The stimulated “endorphins” can help the body system to cope better during stressful situations. Because of this the aggravation of nicotine withdrawal cravings and anxiety can be greatly reduced in intensity, duration and frequency. Thus
getting through withdrawal, an otherwise impossible task , can become quite manageable and in most cases, relatively easy. Our success rate is 80%.

The Four-Treatment Acupuncture Nicotine Withdrawal Program is tailored for the smoker who wishes to get through nicotine withdrawal as rapidly and comfortably as possible.
