An ancient form of Chinese medicine, acupuncture in West Orange is a procedure that involves the use of needles. The needles are stuck into the skin. They target the nerve centers (called meridians) where vital energy known as Qi (pronounced chee) flows but blocked. The needles remove the factors causing the blockage helping the body detoxify and heal itself. The secret of acupuncture’s effectiveness in treating nicotine addiction is its ability to stimulate the production and release of endorphins into the bloodstream that a smoker may experience otherwise when he/she gives in to his/her nicotine cravings.
If you have a smoking addiction problem, I suggest that you try more than one smoking cessation technique to help you find one or more that really works for you. This will help you really overcome and cure your addiction once and for all.
