Here is an efficient therapy to stop smoking: 30 grams of dried pumpkin vine. Simmer it in water with some brown sugar to get a bowl of soup. Take the soup for 3 times per day. Repeat for 7 days. It works very well.

Any other remedies easier than this one?

Hi, thanks for posting this.

My friend told me about a new site where you can ask any questions you have about alternative medicine and it will be answered by a practitioner or medical doctor for free.

Not exactly a remedy, but acupuncture is very effective at helping people quit smoking. The most commonly used technique is a specific form of acupuncture called Auricular (Ear) Acupuncture. Small needles are inserted into specific ear points to help balance the emotions, curb cravings, and help the body detox.

The treatment also works for any other form of substance abuse.

Thanks those are very helpful. Smoking habit is really hard to quit. I hate smoking and I hate smokers. Smoking can harm your health also your teeth.

Smoking is not an involuntary action. You have to go spend $5 plus a pack, tear the pack open, buy a $2.50 lighter that may or may not work, then stick the nasty thing in your mouth and suck on it while you put fire to it. That is a voluntary action, plain and simple. Get some freakin self control!

It's like any other dependency. IF you put them down and don't use just like the priciples of recovery you can quit like everything else. Just matters if you really want to or not. Didn't say it was easy, but it's not any harder than other drugs. Cigarettes are no harder to stop than taking oxy in mass quantity and we stop that. People cop out on quitting cigarettes because they are legal. Otherwise it wouldn't be an issue. That is a FACT!!!

I just wanted to comment: It took me Y-E-A-R-S to quit smoking! What really helped me was subliminals directed toward quitting, not buying them (but allowing myself as many as I needed when I actually needed them, so bumming them or buying a pack and giving the rest away once the urge was gone) and Anger Management Classes, for the first few months, as the withdrawal was totally scary. The most important thing is not to beat yourself up when you cave. Just get back on the wagon,and move on...

Best of luck!

Due to the unpleasantness of the withdrawal symptoms, many people who try to quit smoking end up replacing the cigarettes with some other type of addiction. This may be an addiction to prescription medication, such as sleeping tablets or tranquilizers, or an addiction to food! While you will definitely experience the health benefits of giving up nicotine, no one wants to replace one addiction with another!

A healthy diet, adequate exercise as well as natural and holistic treatments such as acupuncture, massage and herbal and homeopathic remedies can also help the smoker overcome nicotine addiction. Herbal and homeopathic treatments are a safe and effective means to reduce nicotine cravings (without giving you more nicotine) and will also help to prevent weight gain and alleviate anxiety and irritability. Basically, natural and holistic treatments not only lessen the urge to smoke, but also help you to restore balance in your body.

There are a number of ingredients such as Avena sativa, Garcinia cambogia and Gotu Cola (Centella asiatica) which will help to address the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. They reduce nicotine cravings and balance the mood.

Herbs like St John's Wort, Scuttelaria laterifolia and Chromium Picolinate, which is a naturally occurring mineral, support the nervous system in preparation for quitting and maintain serotonin levels in healthy balance.

Biochemic Tisssue Salts such as Natrium Phosphate, Kalium Phosphate and Natrium Muriaticum support for the nervous system while quitting smoking, reduce irritability and restlessness while you stop smoking naturally and Ensure systemic balance of biochemic tissue salts in the body, so vital when trying to quit smoking.
