Stop Smoking Laser Therapy

By Rene Knops

Stop smoking laser treatment is a well know method since over 20 years. It is a common practice designed for people trying to quit smoking.

Stop smoking laser therapy is based on the ancient acupuncture. In ancient times, people used needles to stimulate certain points of the human body and thus stimulate hormone secretion. Nowadays low-level lasers substitute the needles. The laser stimulates the nerve endings and increases the endorphin secretion.

Laser therapy is completely painless. Most people describe the feeling as a warming, even tingling feeling. After each session, people feel relaxed and happier. Their smoking cravings are greatly reduced and the depression that goes along with the ceasing process is gone.

This discovery has been made by a team of scientists from Hebrew University and Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, who have found that being addicted to sex may come as a result of variations in a gene called D4, which is involved in the brain’s reaction to the pleasure chemical dopamine.
