Cardiologists at the Universitätsklinikum Schleswig-Holstein have found out that giving up smoking has an immediate, positive effect on the heart. An improvement is already noticeable soon after the last cigarette. The risk of a heart attack is decreased after 12 months, which is faster than previously expected. The average blood pressure of the tested smokers came down from 149/88 to 129/81 mmHg, the total cholesterol sank from 6.2 to 5.2. The risk of cancer, however, diminishes after several years. More reason to stop smoking NOW!

Stop Smoking – feel better!
Did you know that tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 constituents which are more or less likely to cause cancer? In the list of ingredients you will find, apart from nicotine which is a potent neurotoxin and often used in pesticides: benzene (which is added to petrol), formaldehyde (which is an embalming fluid), ammonia (you also can clean your windows with) and acetone (used to remove nail enamel)! We all know the effects smoking can have on our health and wellbeing. Another negative side effect nowadays is standing outside, whatever the weather, very often exposed to the elements!
If you wish to “kick the habit“ and not “the bucket“, try alternative options such as hypnotherapy or acupuncture, or a combination of both. Very often, only one session of acupuncture can keep you away from the fags. During the session, small patches with tiny pins will be applied in one ear, which stay there for several days (3 to 14 days) and trigger an impulse on certain acupuncture points to suppress the cravings.
It is also important for a successful treatment to boost your immune system. Vitamin C, lots of leafy greens in your daily diet and Magnesium can give you the needed support. The herbal remedy Avena Sativa (e.g. by Dr. Vogel) which is made from oats can also be of great help. Oats have a positive effect on a wide range of nervous conditions. They are mildly antidepressant, gently raising energy levels and supporting an over-stressed nervous system – very often a problem when trying to give up the habit of smoking!
