Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do; however, it is one of the most beneficial steps you can take to better your health. The “Just Stop!” smoking cessation program is another integrated approach exclusive to our BioVeda Health and Wellness Center. The “Just Stop!” program utilizes Low Level Light Therapy, Herbal Supplementation and Homeopathy to help reduce stress, cravings and irritability. Our program goes a step further by also helping to remove harmful toxins known to build in the blood, tissue and cells through habitual use of tobacco products. This can help you stop smoking not only short term but avoid longer term side effects related to smoking.

We start by stimulating specific acupuncture points on the body that are associated with cravings. The use of light triggers an endorphine and serotonin release that effectively
and naturally calms the body, reducing stress and the irritability many patients experience during the first 72 hours of being smoke-free. The herbal supplement and homeopathy continue to help diminish and manage stress and cravings while also pushing the toxins that trigger the cravings out of body.

If you are a smoker, then surely you are already aware of the danger that you are putting yourself in every time you have a cigarette. Heart disease and cancer are the most hazardous effects of smoking, but there are a slew of other conditions that effect smokers on a daily basis. We won’t rehash these detrimental effects here, but we will explain how quitting smoking adds years to your life:

Within 20 minutes after you smoke that last cigarette, your body begins a series of
changes that continue for years

12 hours after quitting, carbon monoxide levels in your blood drops to normal

After 24 hours, your lungs begin to clear out accumulated mucous and tar. Your
pulse rate and blood pressure begin to lower

After 48 hours, your sense of smell and taste begin to improve as nicotine is
eliminated from your body

After 72 hours, your bronchial tubes begin to relax, making breathing easier and
Lung capacity increases

After 2 to 12 weeks, circulation improves, making walking and physical activity
easier

After 2 weeks to 3 months, your heart attack risk begins to drop and your lung
function begins to improve

One to 9 months after quitting, coughing and sinus congestion decreases. Lung
function improves, shortness of breath decreases, energy level increases

1 year after quitting, your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a
smokers

10 years after quitting, your lung cancer death rate is about half that of a smokers.
Your risks of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney and
pancreas decreases

15 years after quitting, your risk of coronary heart disease and lung cancer is back
to that of someone who has never smoked

We understand that quitting smoking can be more difficult and more intense in cravings
than those of a habitual heroin user. We are proud to offer the “Just Stop!” program and
believe it is one of the best, most successful and easiest ways to “Just Stop!”.
