Smoking Cessation

Tobacco use is the cause of almost 30% of all fatal cancers in Canada and a major cause of lung cancer, one of the most preventable cancers.

The health benefits of quitting smoking are immediate and substantial. Within a few days circulation improves and blood pressure returns to normal. Long-term benefits include a significantly reduced risk of cancer, heart and lung disease.

The naturopathic smoking cessation program is an 8 session program using acupuncture, homeopathy, nutritional supplements, lifestyle and emotional counseling designed not only to give you the support you need to quit smoking for good, but also to help heal and detoxify your tissues from the effects of tobacco use.

Benefits of the naturopathic smoking cessation program include:

• Successful strategies for reducing the likelihood of a relapse and staying smoke free.
• Reduced tobacco withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and irritability.
• Acupuncture and dietary support to prevent increased appetite and weight gain.
• Increased support during the first 2 weeks of cessation, proven to be the time when physiologic withdrawal symptoms are at their height.
