ACUPUNCTURE FOR ADDICTION
Acupuncture is particularly effective for alleviating the withdrawal symptoms of addiction and can help a person once they have decided they would like to quit. Acupuncture, however, cannot work alone, the patient has to have the desire to quit.
The treatment utilises similar points as described for weight loss treatments. The aim is to rebalance the brain chemistry once the substance is removed, thus lessening the shock to the system. Acupuncture also has the benefit of increasing blood circulation, regulating breathing, reducing stress and anxiety and balancing the body, mind and spirit. This combination helps the patient to get through the withdrawal stage much more successfully.
It is in this way that I am able to treat alcoholism, smoking and drug addiction, with particular emphasis on the withdrawal period. Treatment proves to be especially effective when utilised alongside rehabilitation programmes attendance of recognised support groups and counselling.
