Acupuncture can help with many forms of addiction, such as smoking, alcoholism, cravings and drug addiction.
How Does Acupuncture Help Addictions?
- Giving Up: Acupuncture is effective in controlling and manipulating the mechanism of addiction itself, which can alter a person’s habits, helping your find the power to give up.
- Withdrawal Symptoms: Acupuncture helps reduce a wide range of withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, palpitations, mood swings and restlessness
- Recovery: Acupuncture can stop the ‘jitters’, curb cravings, lessen irritability and restlessness, increase relaxation and help detoxify the body to balance your constitution and jumpstart the healing process
- Maintaining Recovery: Addiction is a lifelong battle, but acupuncture can help prevent the cravings from returning
Acupuncture, alongside Chinese Herbs can help stimulate detoxification, promote relaxation and encourage endorphin production in order to overcome addiction. This improves the body’s ability to cope with stress, circulation and promote mental well-being.
The length of treatment depends on the patient’s response and on the severity and duration of the addiction.
Please Note: Treatment for addiction can be effective only if the patient is determined to change.
