How Does It Work?
How does LASER acupuncture work to help the client quit smoking?
The laser light stimulates the acupuncture points and results in two main functions.
First, these points work together to change the taste threshold of cigarettes. In other words, cigarettes will no longer taste or smell pleasant resulting in a decrease in desire to smoke.
Second, LASER acupuncture results in a decrease in withdrawal symptoms due to an increase in natural endorphins released in the body. This natural endorphin release is much longer lasting than a cigarette endorphin release and thus helps keep the body relaxed, aids in sleep, helps with stress reduction, and gives the client a general sense of well-being during the withdrawal period.
