HELPING PEOPLE STOP SMOKING .....by homeopathy


It has been humorously said by comedians, "Stopping smoking is easy; I've stopped ten times in the past year alone." People can stop smoking, but the problem is that they often start again.
Smoking is not just a physical addiction but also a social addiction. One can be physically addicted to nicotine, and one can also be addicted to the image of themselves as a smoker.
The unique benefits that homeopathic medicines provide is that they can strengthen a person's overall constitution so that they are not only less physically addicted to tobacco but that they feel stronger emotionally, thus feel less socially addicted to what smoking represents to them.
For the best and deepest results, it is recommended to see a professional homeopath who will prescribe a "constitutional remedy" for the person. This remedy has the potential of an overall strengthening a person, physically and psychologically. Some homeopaths may also prescribe homeopathic doses of TABACUM (usually 6x or 12x) to help the person eliminate tobacco from their body and help reduce cravings for it. Some homeopaths also prescribe CALADIUM (arum root) in either 3x or 6x to help the person develop a distaste for tobacco.
Generally, homeopaths recommend that a person take TABACUM and/or CALADIUM whenever they have a desire for a cigarette, though they recommend stopping such treatment if improvement is not noticed within 10 days.
Finally, there are homeopathic combination remedies for helping to stop smoking that are available at many health food stores. These remedies include several homeopathic ingredients, each of which is known to either help detoxify from tobacco, aid in creating a distaste for tobacco, or help strengthen the person emotionally.
Although homeopathic medicines work most effectively when they are individually prescribed, many people who take these homeopathic combination remedies experience positive results. Such remedies might be considered as a first effort, while professional homeopathic care might be considered when you want more precision and more significant results.
The best time to stop smoking was after that first cigarette, but the second best time to stop is...right now. Homeopathic medicines provide one more tool to help you do so.
