Herbs to Help Kick that Smoking Habit
For those addicted to smoking, the Surgeon General’s bold warning on the cigarette packaging falls on deaf ears. Other countries have gone beyond the stern verbal reminders and even placed horrific images of what the small white stick does to your body! Though some opted to turn a blind eye, there are those who want to go down a healthier road.
What might surprise some is that quashing the smoking habit can be done naturally. The power of healthy herbs may be drawn upon to get out of the smoker’s rut. Yes, you read it right, herbs for health may actually be your saving grace from that nicotine addiction.
Cleanse Your System
Rid your body of the accumulated toxins caused by smoking. In a 24-hour period, don’t consume any solid food. Wash your system by drinking only 8-10 glasses of water, herbal drinks and teas, fruit juices and fresh vegetables.
Drink Ephedra Tea at Breakfast
Ephedra is a wonderful agent to dilate bronchial tubes as well as serve as a natural diuretic to eliminate harmful toxins contained in cigarette smoke.
Drink Licorice/Peppermint Tea with Lunch and Dinner
Peppermint and licorice sharpens mental awareness and will reduce the yearning for a quick nicotine fix. These two work great when blended with one-half teaspoon of ginger.
Take Vitamin C
Taking 3000mg of the vitamin daily brings various health benefits – promotes tissue repair, improves the immune system, serves as a potent antioxidant and antihistamine.
Drink Valerian Root Tea at Bedtime
Have a cup of valerian root tea before capping the night. Smokers who are desperately trying to quit are usually stressed out. They become more anxious and tend to suffer from insomnia which gives them nicotine cravings. Taking the tea will calm the nerves. Caffeine-free chamomile tea may be used in place of the valerian root tea as obtaining the latter can be a challenge in itself.
Healthy herbs can help jumpstart your daily journey to quit smoking. You have the power to make this happen, TODAY.
