Every year, millions of people try to quit smoking, and every year, millions fail. Smokers try nicotine patches, inhalers, nasal spray, and gum to kick the habit. Some try quitting cold turkey. Most will quit two or three times and return to the habit before quitting again permanently. According to the Centers for Disease Control, most relapses occur within the first three months. Auriculotherapy treatment balances brain chemicals, that when out of balance, can lead to addictions. The treatment is easy and cost effective, and could soon change the way we treat smoking addictions. By tapping into certain points through he ear to the brain, chemicals are balanced and cravings vanish immediately. One, pain free treatment is all that is usually needed. Once you have the motivation, auriculotherapy can offer what willpower cannot - PERMANENT SUCCESS! Medically Accepted & FDA Approved.
