Stop Smoking Acupuncture Does It Hurt?
One of the latest crazes today with health conscious people is the use of acupuncture. You have heard a little bit about acupuncture and there are even some medical reports that say it 'might' remember that word 'might' help with some ailments. The thought of someone using an ancient Chinese form of treatment on you does not seem like a realistic way to get healthy. Letting a person stick needles into your body in predesignated locations just does not seem right. You are part of a committee that has been looking into ways to improve employee health and in spite of your objections to some of the ideas; the committee has put forward its recommendations to management. The office decided that it would be beneficial to the overall health of its employees so it implemented a new wellness center and one of the elements being added is therapeutic massage and acupuncture to help the employees. Okay, this was definitely one the pieces that you did not like. Now you are thinking that the company has just found another way to waste money-who in their right minds would use either of these? Amazingly, more and more people are starting to realize that alternative health care methods are working for them. Converts are telling other people about the amazing results they are seeing through the use of therapeutic massage and acupuncture.
A group of employees have even formed a self-help group because they all want to stop smoking. The company has offered lower health and life insurance premiums to nonsmokers and a bonus of additional vacation time for people who kick the habit. These employees have decided to use acupuncture to help them stop smoking and have signed up for weekly sessions with the trained acupuncturist at work. You decide that these people are bit strange if they really believe that they can stop smoking by using acupuncture. It is not that easy to quit and then there are the side effects that can derail even the most ardent person who wants to quit. Before you know it more and more people have stopped smoking because of the acupuncture treatments they are receiving. Between the acupuncture and the new group cessation programs they are actually making good progress-they have not only stopped smoking with the use of acupuncture, but none of them have started back smoking again. The results are startling and you are just amazed at their success. The ability to stop smoking by using acupuncture has definitely helped many of the people in your office and you now starting to think that you might have been wrong in your first opinion. It is never too late to change your mind and to join the group-after all; the common goal is to stop smoking. |
