Can Chinese Medicine Help You Quit Smoking?
Addiction is now the biggest preventable killer in Britain,
causing 150,000 deaths a year (120,000 tobacco related, 33,000
alcohol related and 1,700 drugs related). How can Chinese
medicine help with addiction?
Chinese medicine has beneficial effects on addiction to various
substances. The most commonly treated addictions at AcuMedic
clinics are smoking and alcoholism.
Smoking has a detrimental impact on all major systems of the
human body, in particular, the circulatory, respiratory and
digestive systems. In Chinese medical theory, smoking weakens
the Lung's function of commanding the overall movement of Qi,
Blood and Meridians, by creating Heat in the Lung and Stomach,
which in turn will cause Fire in the Heart and/or stagnation of
Liver Qi, hence withdrawal symptoms such as nausea,
palpitations, mood swings and restlessness occur.
Chinese medicine can reduce the craving for cigarettes. Studies
show that patients after treatment often report a dislike for
the smell of tobacco and that the craving stops when they press
ear points with herbal seeds on (This is called ear acupuncture
where either herbal seeds or metal studs are plastered on to
certain points on the ears).
Alcoholism, like smoking, can cause irreversible damage to all
major organs in the human body, although a
moderate amount of
alcohol under certain circumstances can be beneficial for
health. Chinese medicine treats any withdrawal symptoms and
reduces the craving. It has no side effects.
Acupuncture stimulates detoxification, promotes a heightened
sense of relaxation, and encourages endorphin production, which
makes it an excellent tool for overcoming addiction. Herbal
medicine helps the body to cope with stress, improves
circulation and promotes mental and physical alertness.
Treatment for addiction can be effective only if the patient is
determined to change. The length of treatment depends on the
patient's response and on the severity and duration of the
addiction. Drug addiction can also benefit from Chinese medical
treatment.
