what is unique about our stop smoking programme?
Our Smoking Programme draws uniquely from the very best methods available in complementary and alternative medicine. The therapists on our programme work closely together using entirely holistic methods to help you through the process of giving up smoking on physical, mental and emotional levels.
Based on a clear understanding of the main challenges and issues involved in giving up smoking, we have carefully selected the therapies that can help you the most. Our programme combines:
· Nutritional Therapy
· Ear Acupuncture
· Hypnotherapy
These therapies together will help you with to deal with the following issues:
how is the programme structured?
During an initial consultation with one of our consultants, we will introduce the programme and get you started with some special dietary guidelines prepared by our nutritional therapist. This will help to prepare you for giving up, by regulating your body’s blood sugar levels and consequently your cravings, and will help you throughout the process of giving up as well.
Following this, you will receive three ear acupuncture treatments over a period of one week starting from your designated first day of stopping smoking. These treatments are designed to boost and support your body and mind throughout the process, and are based on the ‘NADA protocol’, an established ear acupuncture procedure involving the insertion of five, small, fine, sterile stainless steel needles under the surface of the skin on specific sites in the outer ear. The NADA protocol has been shown to be highly effective in treating addictions, in particular providing consistent relief of cravings and withdrawal symptoms, as well as reducing anxiety, insomnia and agitation.
Finally you will receive a hypnotherapy session, working with your subconscious to seal the process on a mental and emotional level.
what about other treatments I may need/want?
During the programme, our therapists and consultants will consider any additional treatments that you may need or want. Following the programme, we will share with you any recommendations for further treatment that our therapists have made. This may include other therapies than those on the programme, such as herbal medicine or full body acupuncture, for which we have fully qualified therapists at the Clinic here.
We monitor our programmes regularly to ensure that they are effective and beneficial.
how much does it cost?
The cost for the programme is £125, and includes the consultation at the beginning of the programme, the nutritional therapy guidance, the three ear acupuncture sessions, and the hypnotherapy treatment.
