Herbs Quit Smoking

There are lots of treatments that can help to treat the signs or withdrawal symptoms however natural drugs help support your body, and prevents you from having different future conditions. Most medicines are able to provide what herbs can give, then, some people nowadays choose to halt conventional medicines with shift toward herbal products that can help to support and maintain your body physically fit and healthy.

One of the difficulties in trying to quit smoking is that smokers become physically addicted to nicotine. Smoking affects the parts of the brain related to reward and pleasure. It increases the amount of neurotransmitter dopamine, and the nature of nicotine is that it creates a cycle of positive reinforcement inside of your brain that makes you want more.

Scientists have discovered that when he retires from chronic nicotine use, results in changes in these neural pathways. And the effect on the brain is similar to what someone addicted to cocaine, opiate and other drug experiences. As a result, depression and anxiety are common.

Fortunately, some resourceful modern herbalists began to apply traditional knowledge for a modern problem. In Ayurvedic medicine, common garden variety oat (but not oat straw), is used to treat opium withdrawal. The herbalist Anand, using a tincture (alcohol extract of the plant), applied the same reasoning to nicotine withdrawal, with significant results.

In a group of 26 heavy smokers, gave a tincture of oats, and in another group of 26, gave a placebo. The group that took the OAT tincture smoked less cigarettes, and this effect remained for two months after they stopped treatment. The herbalist Weiss theorizes that the sedative effect of oats. Oats contain as the active alkaloid gramine, vernacular names, and the alkaloids avenine and trigonelline. Oats are described in the texts of herbal medicine as it helps create a feeling of well-being, while at the same time acts as a tonic for the nervous system. But unlike drugs, these are mild, non-habit forming effects.

My master herbal, Ses Salmond suggested the following formula for those trying to quit smoking. In a 50 ml bottle, mix the herbal tinctures:

green oats 15 ml
10 ml white horehound
10 ml mullein
5 ml of gold seal
Peppermint 10 ml

Take 6 drops on your tongue whenever the desire to have a cigarette is felt.

Acupuncture is also an excellent choice. HerbMed offers the following option to use herbs on acupuncture points. Stir the oil of cloves, oil of wintergreen, an extract of evodia fruit, an extract of sichuan lovage Rhizome, and msg, and apply to specific acupuncture points. Unfortunately, I do not say that acupuncture points, but this can be determined by what each person has.
