You may already know how hard it is to quit smoking if you are a habitual smoker and have attempted to kick the habit. But what you may not know is that there is cutting edge technology you can avail of to help you escape your addiction. You may at least have heard about acupuncture and its ability to help relieve pain. You may be surprised to know that this 4,000 year old treatment is also now widely used to help overcome nicotine addiction. You may even be more surprised when you know that there is now such a thing as laser acupuncture which is a painless, safe and modern form of acupuncture to help you stop smoking for good. The truth is a lot of smokers have already been cured of their habit with this type of acupuncture treatment.

Although laser acupuncture has been around since 1989, it has since then been fine tuned and tweaked making it an ideal alternative for people who want the health benefits of traditional acupuncture sans the needles. The reason why using laser acupuncture for the cessation of smoking has been successful is that the laser energy activates the feel-good neurotransmitters in the body, leaving a person in a relaxed and calmed state.

Laser acupuncture’s use to help a person quit smoking may also bring about additional healing benefits. They may include a rejuvenated body, better sleeping patterns and even a better control of one’s food cravings. This treatment involves the stimulation of laser energy in specific acupoints in the skin that causes the central nervous system to release neurotransmitters in the body, some people may feel a slight discomfort during the procedure but it is minimal and fleeting. For most patients, the overall experience is described as relaxing and calming. It is sufficient to know that a lot of people have been able to successfully overcome their smoking habit with laser acupuncture even if there is little scientific proof to validate the effectiveness of the treatment

For most people who have undergone laser acupuncture the most common description they feel during the treatment is that there is a tingling, pulsating, and warm sensation at the point of the laser. There are others who actually state that they haven’t felt anything at all. The notion is that the laser is able to stimulate the acupoints of the body in a manner similar to the acupuncture needles used in traditional acupuncture. Hence, you are able to acquire the same healing quality and good feelings you would get from traditional acupuncture when experiencing laser acupuncture for smoking cessation.

While not enough studies have yet been done to validate acupuncture’s ability to stop smoking addiction, it is really a safe procedure that you need to try at least once. This is particularly true if you are one of these who claim to have “tried everything”, yet still haven’t overcome their problem. Probably, the cost of a laser acupuncture treatment may be the one thing going against trying it. But if you’re a chronic chain smoker and you are really serious about quitting, you may find that the benefits of laser acupuncture far outweigh its cost.
