Everyone knows that smoking is a hard habit to break. Because it is so hard to quit smoking, a plethora of smoking cessation products have been developed to help smokers kick the habit. Of the smoking cessation products, various nicotine replacement therapies are the most prevalent. Most nicotine replacement therapies are well known to smokers. Nicotine replacement therapies deliver nicotine through various mediums, such as patches, gums, lozenges, and nasal sprays.
While some smokers have found success with nicotine replacement therapies, there are some negatives to them. First, nicotine replacement therapies have not been successful in helping all smokers to quit smoking. The second drawback to nicotine replacement therapies is that they still expose smokers to nicotine. In fact, the whole idea behind nicotine replacement therapies is to lessen smokers cravings for cigarettes by supplying them with nicotine in an alternative form that is less dangerous than smoking. However, nicotine in any form is still addicting. So there is always the chance that smokers may not be able to break their nicotine addiction when they use a nicotine replacement therapy. In addition, many doctors think that nicotine is carcinogenic in any form, although nicotine replacement therapies are clearly safer than smoking.
Given the drawbacks of using nicotine replacement therapies, many smokers are looking for alternative methods to quit smoking. Of these alternative methods, one of the most popular and effective is the use of various herbal remedies. Many natural herbs can mitigate the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. By using the right herbs, smokers can quit smoking without feeling the anxiety, nervousness, and irrabiltiy that usually accompanies nicotine withdrawal. Another great benefit of using herbs to quit smoking is that the herbs are not addicting. Therefore, smokers can use the herbs to help them with nicotine cravings while breaking their nicotine dependence.
There are actually many different herbs that are effective in helping smokers to quit smoking. Some of the more popular herbs used in smoking cessation are skull cap, passion flower, eldeberry, and tumeric. Both skull cap and passion flower are effective in reducing the feelings of anxiety and nervousness, which are common side effects of nicotine withdrawal. Eldberrey is often used in herbal smoking cessation products because it is very high in anti-oxidants. The anti-oxidants found in eldeberry help to neutralize the many toxins created in the body by smoking. Similar to eldeberry is tumeric, which is a common spice found in India. Tumeric is often used because it, like Eldeberry, is very effective in removing toxins from the body that are left by smoking.
Most herbal smoking cessation products usually contain one or more herbs. That is because the most effective herbal remedies use a combination of herbs to help smokers quit. Many herbal smoking cessation products are in pill form, so they are easy to use.
In sum, if you are a smoker who is trying to quit, consider using a herbal smoking cessation product.
