Smoking Cessation Methods

Are there herbs / tea / aromatherapy and other holistic methods to stop smoking you know? How effective are these methods?

Hello there.

I read somewhere that distraction is a key element of success. For example, the act of chewing on a toothpick, or cane sugar, liquorice or straw will help you get through an episode of thirst. The aromatherapy is a comprehensive approach possible because of the relaxing effect of the aroma released into the air.

But the main thing to think is that it's really all that you want to quit smoking. If you do, then it is really possible if you just reach into your subconscious and reprogram it to think that your current status is that of a nonsmoker. I said, the current situation, because you do not understand unconscious past or present - it only works in the present. In addition, he does not know how to interpret the negative statements.

Let me give you an example. You can tell your subconscious: "I am a" non-smoker, and he will obey as if it's true. But if you rephrase it in a negative to say "I do not want to smoke, all that it aims, is really "I want to smoke ..." .. it's just the way our subconscious mind works ... if it is positive if going forward, and negative moves backwards, consider that your subconscious is a way of moving the machine.

But how to reprogram? Yes, it is the suggestion of self-hypnosis. But I do not mean that you will pay hundreds of dollars to a hypnotherapist to do / her to do what you can do for you.

I used to have problems with my weight, pulling my eyebrows (I suffered from Trichotillomania) biting my nails, etc. These are the habits and conditions, I do not feel I simply had no control.

Then one day, I shed a few pounds more than the local bookstore Borders, I came across a book titled "Self-Hypnosis Instant" by Forbes Robbins Blair, and he showed me how I could simply become the thinner, freer person I wanted to be. The key to the techniques he reveals in his book is not having to remember complex or lengthy scripts to do the job. He found that simple act Reading aloud the induction and scripts was enough to put in a mild state of hypnosis and suggestions to change the script. Please, for your own peace of mind, and as it will probably cost you only about $ 10 or more, get the book and see for yourself. My mother, when she was alive, always told me "proof of the pudding is always in the eating." I can you say it works, but when you try for yourself, even if you're skeptical (not cynical, but really skeptical), you will see for yourself. Good luck and much success. Let me know if you have any questions or if you want to discuss offline. You can feel free to email me about it.

There some herbal methods, not sure what they are called good or if they work, your health food store should have. There are also so-called ear stapling, which works like acupuncture and acupressure. The success rate is 85%. There are magnets ear, but I'm not sure if they work either. I recommend stapling the ear, I have them in other things and they work, so I guess they work for it.

I once tried to drink a glass of detoxification, which had the advantage of my desire to eliminate smoke or drink alcohol in about 3 days. In fact, I found that I feel sick about smoke. Here is the recipe, which can be found in _The Fat Flush Plan_ by Ann Louise Gittleman:
Mix 1 part 100% cranberry juice (not cranberry juice cocktail, etc. I found it at Trader Joe's if you have problems finding it.) With 7 parts water and a little cinnamon, allspice and a dash of lemon. Try to drink a pint of that day, and at least one.
