Holistic way to quit smoking

Featured Replies

Hi 

Has someone experience quit smoking by holistic way? (cristals and exc..) Thank you

My Thai brother in law quit holistically by drinking some sort of tea that makes one ill if they smoke, sorry I don't know the name of it. Something like this:

For me, I was never a big smoker, about 1 pack a week for 10 years, then when my wife was pregnant, she asked me to stop, for my health and the health of the baby, a few months later I was tobacco free, that was 15 years ago, her mentioning my future baby's health was a huge motivating factor for me to quit.

Good Luck,

My brother was able to quit smoking with the help of vapes. He initially switched from cigarette to vape and now he doesn't use any kind of smoking at all.

My suggestions, worked for me many years ago.

1. Will power.  Just decide to do it and stick with your resolve. If you fall down, get up again and keep going. 

2. Exercise. If you take up jogging, swimming or other aerobic activity, your desire to smoke will be quickly diminished when you start hitting the track or pool.  

3. TCM (traditional Chinese medicine).  A good herbal Rx will balance energies and help you make better decisions on what you put in your body and other health and lifestyle choices. 

4. Acupuncture. There are specific points that are used as well as general treatment that goes along with herbal therapy.

I actually tried a mix of holistic methods when I was quitting smoking, and one thing that helped me was using crystals for focus and calmness. I didn’t rely solely on them, but it gave me something to center myself with during cravings. I also found that using a vaporizer with fryd Extracts was really helpful. They have a great variety of strains, and I could switch between different ones depending on what I needed—something relaxing when the stress hit, or more energizing when I felt like I needed a mood boost. It was nice having a tool that wasn’t just about quitting but helped me feel a little better along the way.

I quit smoking a couple of years ago and tried a few holistic things along the way. Meditation and deep breathing helped a lot with cravings, especially in the evenings when I’d usually have a cigarette. I also drank lobelia tea, which some people say mimics the effects of nicotine—it’s hard to say if it really worked, but it did help take the edge off. I had a couple of crystals people recommended, but honestly, I think the biggest thing was just keeping my hands and mind busy. If holistic stuff helps you stay focused and committed, it’s worth a shot.
