Auricular therapy, acupuncture, Hypnotherapy and meditation are used for the treatment of Addictions, stop smoking, weight control and psycho/emotional conditions.
Hypnosis, acupuncture, and meditation are the three favorites among those struggling to quit smoking.
Hypnosis
Because hypnosis has become known for its ability to change behaviors quickly, it’s a natural starting point for many smokers trying to quit. Hypnosis relaxes your mind enough to identify unconscious triggers. "Hypnosis is nothing more than the alpha state—a state of mind that we pass through as we fall asleep at night, go deep into a memory, or as we watch television," explains Alan B. Densky, a certified hypnotherapist based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., who specializes in smoking cessation.
A typical session starts with a case history so that we have an idea of your past experience with smoking. Then you will be guided into a state of relaxation through one method or another—often guided meditation or visualization. Next comes a series of suggestions or a conversation to explore what might motivate you to quit. For example, if you are someone who always smokes in front of the television, we might try to help you break that connection and replace it with a healthier habit.
The preliminary results from a small 2007
study of smokers hospitalized with cardiopulmonary diseases showed that the patients who chose to participate in a hypnotherapy session were more likely to be nonsmokers six months later than patients who chose nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) alone.
Qigong TuiNa for Addictions and psycho/emotional conditions
According to ancient Taoist practitioners, specific powerful acu-points activate Qi and blood circulation. This method provides immediate release of toxins, restoring balance, reducing cravings, anxiety and stress.
NAET

your allergies are eliminated by performing acupressure and acupuncture while you hold the offending allergen.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)
An energy medicine based on Chinese acupuncture meridian system (emotional version of acupuncture with out using needles). Technique is used to treat and release negative emotions and problematic behavior. It is based on the principle that negative emotions and stressful and/or traumatic experiences cause a disruptive charge to the body's energy system. It was discovered that tapping on the end points of the acupuncture meridians released the disturbance from the body's energy field and nervous system thus restoring balance and calm.
