What is Nicotine Addiction?
It is a condition that usually shows symptoms such as intense desire, increased appetite, irritability, low mood, restlessness, difficulty in concentration and poor sleep when not smoking.
Less common withdrawal symptoms are physical symptoms such as cough, dizziness, constipation and mouth ulcers. Addiction has physical and psychological components. Physical addiction occurs due to chemicals, especially nicotine, contained in cigarettes and begins to decrease after 48-72 hours when not smoking, and disappears in a maximum of 1 week. The real difficulty in quitting smoking is psychological addiction. Smoking behavior repeated for years is matched with some daily activities and mental states.
For example, smoking after every meal, with tea, coffee and alcohol causes a desire to smoke every meal, tea, coffee and alcohol intake. Since a cigarette is lit every time you get angry, happy and emotionally fluctuating, you immediately want to smoke every time you get angry and happy. This emotional addiction takes much longer to disappear and takes an average of 2 years.
What are the Methods for Quitting Smoking?
The most ideal thing is for a person to quit with their own will, but this may not always be possible because smoking addiction is a very serious addiction both physically and psychologically. At the same time, since smoking is a means of socialization, it is very difficult to quit if it is frequently found in environments where smoking is practiced.
First of all, the person must make a clear decision to quit smoking and try to quit with their own will. For this purpose, the person must develop their awareness about the harms of smoking and motivate themselves about what they will gain when they quit smoking. If they cannot quit smoking despite trying many times, it is necessary to seek professional help.
Since the main substance that creates smoking addiction is nicotine, nicotine replacement therapy and drugs containing the active ingredients bupropion or varenicline are used. These treatment methods provide a decrease in nicotine withdrawal symptoms.
In addition to drug treatment, behavioral therapy can be applied by psychologists or psychiatrists.
Acupuncture treatment is quite successful in addictions. Especially in microsystem acupuncture, the use of nicotine points together with calming, relaxing and detoxifying points makes a very important contribution. Permanent needles placed on the relevant points ensure that the treatment is continuously effective.
Electromagnetic frequency treatments can be very successful treatments by preventing physical addiction symptoms by using frequencies that are the exact opposite of the addictive electromagnetic frequencies of cigarettes.
What Methods Are Recommended in Our Clinic?
Mora Therapy is recommended in our clinic to get rid of cigarette addiction. Mora Therapy prevents addiction symptoms by using mirror image frequencies that are the exact opposite of the addictive electromagnetic frequencies of cigarettes. If a single session is needed, there is a quit rate of up to 80% with a support session. In order for the effect to continue, the opposite frequencies are loaded into a liquid and the patient is asked to drop it under the tongue for a few hours. When the withdrawal symptoms of cigarettes completely disappear, the drop support also ends. This process takes about a month. Physical addiction completely disappears at the end of a month.
After this, the person’s struggle with psychological addiction begins, especially the first 6 months are very important. It should be kept in mind that the desire to smoke may occur in every emotional fluctuation, every anger or joy, or every coffee, tea, alcohol consumption, after a meal, and that this desire is not physical but only psychological and must be resisted. When this desire is resisted and success is achieved each time, the desire disappears, new conditionings are formed in the brain and the psychological addiction to smoking gradually disappears. However, it should not be forgotten that it takes an average of 2 years to say I have quit smoking. During this process, it would also be appropriate to stay away from environments where smoking is possible.
Especially after the first month, if the patient is having difficulty and wants psychological support, very serious support can be provided with Mora Therapy’s Bach flower program and ear acupuncture.
Ear Acupuncture can be used successfully alone or together with Mora Therapy in the first phase of quitting smoking.
