Alternative methods

Stop smoking

Tobacco addiction and dependence are linked but not inseparable; the mechanism relies on pleasure neurotransmitters and the nicotine reward system. The approach uses plants such as St. John's wort, valerian and mucuna to act on serotonin and withdrawal anxiety, and products rich in tryptophan to limit weight gain. We can replace nicotine with less toxic forms or resort to aromatherapy (sandalwood, incense), and replace the gesture with licorice sticks or herbal teas.
