Acupuncture treatment for help with smoking cessation involves a combination of body and auricular (ear) acupuncture.
Acupuncture can be a powerful aid for smoking cessation for people who are committed to stopping. It should be stressed that acupuncture, like any other therapy, is not a ‘magic bullet’ for stopping smoking.
During a treatment session you will be asked about your general health in addition to your motivation for giving up smoking.
Ear press seeds may be used to prolong the treatment effects for several days following treatment.
Lifestyle advice may also be given.
