When you began to smoke or use any form of nicotine (chewing tobacco, cigars, patch, gums, lozenges) you did not do it with intentions of becoming dependant on this substance. When you ingest nicotine into the body it reaches the brain within six seconds, that’s twice as fast as main lining heroin. Making nicotine addiction one of the most addictive substances plaguing the world. Nicotine, when ingested into the body in any form, causes a person to feel calm and relaxed. This is due to an elevation in endorphins, which are the body’s natural pain suppressors and pleasure chemicals that are produced in the brain, hence the attraction. After time, more and more nicotine is needed to achieve the same pleasurable feeling, leaving the person addicted.
Once you are a habitual smoker, the brain and body develop a physical dependence for nicotine. Smoking excites your body’s pleasure chemicals, endorphins, once the brain gets a taste of that feel good sensation it wants it again and again. Even though you know the negative impact of smoking on your health and hate being controlled by this substance you keep going back to it. Not because you are weak not because you have no willpower; it is because the brain is a physical organ dependant on a drug! When you try to stop, withdrawal and cravings begin because you are cutting the brain off the feel good endorphins it has become dependent on the nicotine to supply. Your mind says no, but the brain says yes! When the two are in conflict the brain wins and you remain addicted.
Seahorse Vibration Wellness Center stop smoking laser treatment is used to stimulate the release of those pleasurable endorphins in a healthy way, mimicking the endorphin rush caused by nicotine. The laser helps to rebalance the body without harmful side effects and helps alleviate physical withdrawal and cravings to help you to stop smoking easily.
Low-level laser therapy operates on principles similar to Acupuncture, which is the ancient art of healing. Acupuncture has over 5,000 years of history and is known to reduce tension, increase circulation, and enable the body to relax more deeply. Low level laser is a modern form of acupuncture which uses laser rather than needles to stimulate the body’s pleasurable endorphins. Clients report Seahorse Vibration Wellness Center’s stop smoking laser treatment is nothing less than amazing.
Seahorse Vibration Wellness Center uses a low powered (soft) laser to treat nicotine addiction. Energy points on your hands, face and ears are identified and treated. The entire procedure is external, non-invasive, and non-thermal. Many clients feel a calming sensation from the stop smoking laser treatment.
In order to finally be freed from this dependency it is vital to address the psychological side of the addiction. The Seahorse vibration Wellness Center uses a unique psychological profile with each and every client to insure their specific needs are addressed. Personalized counselling is done throughout the session of laser, teaching you how to deal with the thoughts and feelings left behind concerning your old lifestyle.
