Homeopathy for Smoking Cessation: Does It Really Work?
The methods for quitting smoking are numerous. Among those considered “alternative” is homeopathy. So, is it really effective, or is it literally just a smokescreen?
This article is neither a fiery pamphlet nor a celebration of this alternative approach. Objectively, we will assess what it can (or cannot) offer when you want to quit smoking.
At the end of our explanations, we will highlight the technique of smoking cessation that we recommend. Without devaluing other methods, as each approach deserves respect, we will shed light on the virtues of auriculotherapy.
Before that, let’s focus on homeopathy. What exactly is it? Reset Laser Institute answers you honestly… and right now!
What is Homeopathy?
We are neither the first nor the last to propose a definition of homeopathy. This concept raises many questions and stirs passions; some call it a scam, others a blessing. How about we temper it?
At the origin of this practice, belonging to the field of non-conventional medicine, we find Samuel Hahnemann. This German physician based his theories on two inseparable principles of this approach.
The Principle of Similitude
The first principle of homeopathy is that of similitude. In other words, a substance causing certain symptoms in a healthy person could be used to treat similar complications in someone who is ill. This would be akin to stimulating the healing process our body is naturally equipped with.
Dynamization
The second principle is that of “dynamization” or “succussion“. The components used in homeopathy are diluted to such a degree that the final preparation should contain an infinitesimal (if not zero) amount of molecules related to the original substance.
According to practitioners in the field, if it works, it is because the substance has absorbed a form of energetic imprint, a “trace” of the constituent now absent or very slightly present in the granules.
Thus, the toxic, deleterious effects of a more “aggressive” treatment with conventional medicines would be reduced while retaining the sought therapeutic benefits.
A Method Recognized as a Complementary Treatment
Homeopathy is by no means prohibited, whether in France or Belgium. Homeopathic granules are even sold in pharmacies. That being said, it is classified as a complementary therapy. It should come as a “reinforcement” to a more traditional treatment, without replacing it.
It involves, in any case, ingesting certain preparations adapted to the individual’s issues. Among them, we can mention arnica montana (for bruises, contusions…), apis Mellifica (known for insect bites), belladonna (to alleviate inflammations), or even tabacum, used for motion sickness and smoking cessation.
Homeopathy for Quitting Smoking: Is It Effective?
There is no single, indisputable answer to this question. Many factors and parameters must be considered in the success of smoking cessation. Even traditional treatments involving medication or nicotine substitutes lead to differences in reactions.
Positive Effects for Smoking Cessation
There are testimonials about the positive impact of homeopathy on the desire to smoke. Homeopathic granules of tabacum, but also caladium seguinum, lobelia inflata, or plantago major reportedly offer good results for quitting nicotine…
Placebo effect? Real consequence? Again, it’s difficult to rely on generalities. One thing is certain: homeopathy has found its audience, including in the context of tobacco addiction.
But Also Failures in Combating Tobacco Addiction
Sometimes, the homeopathic treatment does not work for quitting smoking. The body does not show receptivity. The need for nicotine seems just as strong.
It is then necessary to consider another path to say goodbye to cigarettes. Persisting in one’s smoking cessation proves counterproductive. Paradoxically, due to frustration, the desire to smoke can intensify. The smoker then falls back into nicotine addiction.
Preparing for Smoking Cessation: A Necessary Step
In any case, and this applies to all means of combating tobacco addiction, it is important to ensure proper preparation. It is crucial to get in the right mindset and not consider this paradigm shift as a mere formality.
And for good reason: the symptoms of withdrawal maintain the temptation to smoke. The miracle method does not exist, as each individual deals with their experiences, personality, and resilience to adversities. You need to be aware of this to truly move forward.
In short, everyone should be able to freely chart their path. The journey can be winding, painful, and challenging. Motivation and discipline play an important role.
Homeopathy, like other paths to liberation, fits into a global system that requires rethinking one’s routine. Making it healthier, more balanced: quality diet, regular exercise, etc.
The Solution for Effectively Quitting Smoking: Reset Laser
Our Auriculotherapy Cessation Method
At Reset Laser, we offer clients addicted to cigarettes the option of using auriculotherapy. In the vein of therapies like acupuncture (but without needles!), specific points, in this case located in the ear, are stimulated with a laser. These are linked to addictions.
This method has been legitimized since 1987 by the World Health Organization. It is therefore neither clandestine nor outlandish. Everything is based on disconnecting from the need, the great enemy of smokers, but also of alcohol dependents, for example.
Auriculotherapy or Homeopathy: Which Cessation Method to Choose?
Auriculotherapy is a more direct treatment than homeopathy; it targets the core issue to quickly turn this harmful page.
It is entirely possible to combine the two methods for quitting smoking. The laser provides a very solid foundation, and then homeopathic substances in small quantities help to rebalance you and restore certain functions that your smoking has disrupted.
Other methods can also assist you. Are you passionate about meditation? Do the virtues of lithotherapy form part of your beliefs? Feel free to combine different means of action… and relaxation!
