Stop Smoking - Alternative Treatment Dublin, Dublin County

Because of acupuncture’s success in helping people quit smoking, it has a rapidly growing number of converts. In fact, in the US, acupuncture is often a court-mandated treatment for drug addicts because of its ability to reduce cravings and alleviate withdrawal symptoms such as irritability, anxiety and difficulty concentrating.

Acupressureis a therapy that uses precise finger placement and pressure over specificpoints along the body. These points follow specific channels, known as meridians- the same channels used in acupuncture. According to Asian medical philosophy,activation of these points with pressure (or needles) can improve blood flow,release tension, and enhance or unblock life-energy, known in China as"qi" or in the English-speaking world as "chi." Thisrelease allows energy to flow more freely through the meridians, promotingrelaxation, healing and the restoration of proper function. Acupressuretherapy can be used to relieve pain, reduce tension in muscles, improvecirculation and promote deep states of relaxation. It is often done by massagetherapists and other bodyworkers, but can also be learned as a technique to bedone oneself. Individuals can be treated, then trained in various self-careapplications and pressure-point formulas for specific conditions. These includenausea and vomiting, motion sickness, headaches, neck and back pain, as well aschronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, mental and emotional stress, even addictionrecovery and learning disorders.

At New Leaf Acupuncture, Dublin, we recognise that anxiety and stress can manifest itself in the body in many ways – sleep disorders, gastrointestinal issues, immune system weakness, pains in the body,etc. We look for and treat the root of their cause. Acupuncture can help to reverse the above changes. It increases serotonin production while also releasing the body’s natural pain- killers, endorphins and enkephalins and decreases cortisol secretion. Patients report feeling more relaxed and focused after an acupuncture session. As the treatments continue, patients often notice that “things that used to really bother me no longer do.”

Cupping therapy is the method of using glass or plastic cups to create localized pressure by a vacuum. The Chinese have been doing this since ancient times by using heat inside glass or bamboo cups. The vacuum inside the cups causes the blood to form in the area and help the healing in that area.  This treatment is offered in conjunction with Acupuncture.
