Quit Smoking Program

When you’re ready to quit, we’re here to help. If you have decided to quit smoking (or vaping) recently, but are unsure of exactly how to quit, we can help with our Smoking Cessation Program!

What’s the Program?

Our program is uniquely powerful in that it consists of several proven interventions which includes acupuncture, custom herbal formulas, relaxation technique instruction, and ear seed placement. This program will help you quit smoking and get you through the initial nicotine detoxification phase, plus arms you with techniques to avoid returning to it. For most people 10-15 treatments are all that is needed to completely quit and recover from the detoxification process of quitting. If you feel you could use a couple more sessions beyond this program, we can continue the treatments at an a la carte rate as needed.

How Does it Work?

Most people dread quitting smoking due to the intense detox process. Our treatments will significantly reduce cravings and physical withdrawal symptoms immediately. On a chemical level, acupuncture releases endorphins, and dopamine which are the body’s natural pain killers and “feel good” hormones to keep you calm, improve sleep and reduce irritability.

We recommend having 2-3 treatments per week for 2-4 weeks. The first treatment benefit generally wears off in the first 12-24 hours. Therefore having treatments in back-to-back succession is paramount to building a strong foundation where the benefits last longer, with permanent results.

Treatment, and What to Expect

Treatment Side Effects

While acupuncture treatments are painless, you may experience mild discomfort from the detoxification process. Common symptoms include body aches, low-grade fever, headaches, insomnia, congestion, coughing, and mood fluctuations. Acupuncture helps alleviate these short-term discomforts, while herbal formulas support long-term balance during the quitting process.

Acupuncture can help at any stage, whether it has been six hours or six minutes since your last cigarette. However, the best results come when you are fully committed to quitting before your first treatment.

To help your body detox and adjust, we provide a custom month-long herbal formula tailored to your needs. Additional recommendations include:

  • Increase water intake to flush toxins and boost energy.

  • Eat regular, nutrient-rich meals to stabilize blood sugar and mood.

  • Expect cravings to peak in the first week—stay focused on the long-term goal.

  • Avoid sugary foods and prepare healthy snacks like carrots, celery, and apples.

  • If you slip up, don’t be discouraged—simply restart and stay committed. Many patients experience setbacks before quitting for good.

Is There a Guarantee or Refund?

In a word: no. This should also give extra incentive to give your complete participation and effort here. We have never had one person who was 100% committed to quit smoking not be successful even if short term. It may be necessary to “recommit”yourself to your decision to quit at some point.

Avoiding relapse requires two things: overcoming the habit of smoking, and implementing stress relief mechanisms that help you to deal with stress so you don’t turn to cigarettes as a “stress reliever”.

Reminding yourself of the value your health being paramount. Remember what it feels like to be smoke-free. Improved oxygen intake, improved sleep, improved smell, improved taste, improved relationships. All of it. Also know that your investment will pay for itself in just 90 days of being smoke free. You can do it!

Acupuncture Cessation & Program Prep

We have found this combination of treatments works best when combined with the actual desire to quit from the patient. You have to want to quit 100% for yourself for this to be quick and permanent. If you are on the fence to quitting, still actually LIKE smoking, or are trying to quit for someone else (family member, loved one’s guilt) your success to quitting may be more temporary than permanent. Once you have firmly made up your mind that this is it, we can help you kick the habit for good.

Here are some helpful tips in preparation for quitting smoking:

  1. Remember quitting cold turkey is the easiest and most effective technique to quitting smoking.
  2. Now is the time to get rid of all your cigarettes! Even the “in case of emergency” ones stashed in your shoe in the guest closet. Don’t forget to get rid of all the ash trays, and lighters from your home, car and workplace
  3. Tell people you are quitting. This helps to solidify your goal and builds your support system. Tell your family, friends, coworkers. The more people who know your goals, the more support you will find.
  4. Envision yourself and refer to yourself as a “non-smoker”. Picture it in your head. What does your life look like? What does your health look and feel like. Make it your reality
