If you are thinking of stopping smoking, you might consider using acupuncture to help.
I am regularly asked if acupuncture can help people to stop smoking. My answer is always the same: ‘Only if you really want to stop.’ Acupuncture can only help you through the withdrawal from nicotine, it won’t make you stop unless you are really ready to go through with it. Your best chance of success is with a combination of techniques, such as exercise, behavioural and dietary changes, nicotine replacement (temporarily and in decreasing doses) and acupuncture can be a valuable addition to these.

The first ever Acupuncture Awareness Week launches on Monday 27 February 2012 and will attempt to dispel the many myths still surrounding acupuncture.

Recent research has revealed that over 21 per cent of the British public think acupuncture needles are as large as the needles used for regular injections. Not true! But it just goes to show that in spite of Chinese medicine’s ever increasing popularity, there are still a whole host of common misconceptions surrounding this ancient form of treatment.

A friend of mine who has just moved to the North of the UK asked me, how she should go about finding a good reflexologist. The first thing that I thought was how do I go about choosing a therapist for myself, what do I look for.

The Lock-On System of Effortless Achievement

John Freeman Sometimes when we want something really badly our whole system goes haywire. The more we want it, the more out of reach it seems to get. The focus that would ensure our success actually looks in the opposite direction; all of our attention goes to what we DON’T want. The harder we try the more stressed we become. The more important a goal is to us the more elusive it gets. Stress, frustration, struggle and worry are all factors that stand like a fortress between us and our goals.
