Question:
What can you tell me about using
laser therapy to stop smoking?
Answer:
The
therapy is a laser version of acupuncture.
Instead of using needles, a low-level
laser beam is directed at points
on the ear, face, hands and wrists.
It's completely painless without
cutting, and it doesn't burn. The
treatment is aimed at reducing the
physical withdrawal symptoms smokers
feel when they quit. It stimulates
the body to release those natural
endorphins of the body chemicals
that relieve pain. Many people do
quit with just one treatment. Certain
people are not eligible for laser
treatment because of health concerns.
They are: pregnant women, cancer
patients, epileptics and people
with blood-clotting disorders.
