All you have to do is; Deciding to quit smoking. This is one of the most important decisions a person can make in his life. Once you make this decision, acupuncture will make it much easier for you to quit smoking. There are two substances in humans called serotonin and endorphins. It is located in the brain and is related to emotions such as comfort, pleasantness, joy and peace. Normally, serotonin and endorphin levels increase in people when laughter increases, when we receive happy news, when we eat chocolate or a nice dessert, or when something hurts. However, smokers have lost their body autonomy because smoking takes over the job of secreting serotonin and endorphins. You know, you smoke when you are happy or when you are worried, this is the explanation.
For those who quit smoking, the body has a very difficult time in the first week because the brain cannot secrete serotonin. The brain starts to perform its previous function only after 72 hours. If the patient's withdrawal symptoms are prevented within this 72-hour period, it becomes much easier for the patient to quit smoking. Treatment with acupuncture eliminates the complaints that the person may have due to smoking. Thus, a person who has decided not to smoke can achieve this without any difficulty; because acupuncture treatment stimulates the brain to secrete serotonin and endorphins without the need to smoke again, and then the brain regains its old autonomy.
