Holistic Quit Smoking Program

Start dates, times & location: Please call for information

Over a span of six weeks, we shall provide you with medical tools and support to help you meet your goal of becoming a nonsmoker. The program includes:

  • Weekly support check-ins with introduction of alternative coping techniques and strategies you can use in many areas of your life
  • Weekly painless auricular (ear) acupuncture treatments to reduce or eliminate cravings and support detoxification (twice-weekly treatments are included in the program for those who need extra support; treatment is in a group setting)
  • Access to Eastern herbal prescriptions and nutritional supplements to transition from nicotine dependence to health-enhancing choices;   product costs ($12 – 25 per week) are in addition to the program
  • Two half-hour therapeutic massages to support detoxification and encourage relaxation

Referrals for other resources, such as extended support programs, ionic foot bath detoxification, individual coaching sessions and nutritional consultations, shall be available to participants upon request.

Important: We offer no guarantee of success in your becoming or remaining a nonsmoker. Individuals respond in different ways to quit smoking protocols and additional support may be required, such as traditional withdrawal patches or pharmaceuticals. Use of these aids is not contrary to our purpose and they may be used concurrently with our program.

Program facilitators are licensed in California to provide acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage and psycho-educational services. Enrollment is limited to 10 participants.
