Acupuncture helps stop smoking but there is more to it than it seems. Acupuncture, as a monotherapy, does not help stop smoking. In fact, it is a part of broader treatment plan for people who want to quit smoking. When smokers try to quit smoking, they experience withdrawal symptoms. This is where acupuncture plays its role. Liver is responsible for producing withdrawal symptoms therefore, acupuncture focuses on stimulating liver function and stop the symptoms. When liver regains its strength that it loses during nicotine addiction the withdrawal symptoms don’t develop. This is how acupuncture makes quitting smoking easier.
