What is Auriculotherapy?

Auriculotherapy (also called Auricular Therapy) is a proven, effective tool to help you quit smoking by minimizing cravings and calming the nervous system.  Our procedure uses a very mild, electronic stimulation on the outside of both ears.  The treatment alleviates the uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms experienced when quitting smoking including irritability, anxiety, short-temper, inability to focus, depressed mood and sleeplessness.

Does Smoking Cessation work for other types of uses?

Smoking cessation alleviates the discomfort of withdrawal from any form of nicotine. Individuals addicted to smokeless tobacco products, e-cigarettes and nicotine replacement therapies including nicotine patches, gum, inhalers and lozenges are all candidates for auriculotherapy.

Is Auriculotherapy painful?

No.  Smoking cessation therapy is completely painless with no known side effects. During the treatment all you will feel is a very mild tingle of the probe against your skin.

What is the cost?

The procedure is only $175 with a one month guarantee and it only takes one time!  Bring in someone with you to quit and take an additional $50 off per person.  There are no supplements, pills, etc. to buy.

How long does it take?
