Natural And Effective Means Of Quitting Smoking

By April Kerr

Anyone who has ever tried to stop smoking, knows it is not an easy undertaking. Irritableness, anxiety and insomnia are common side effects. There is hope, it's not impossible. Now you can stop smoking once and for all with the use of some natural products.

I'm sure many of you have tried hypnosis, acupuncture, zyban and likely many other stop smoking aids. Many of you have probably rushed out to get every new stop smoking aid you've heard of. I've been there. So you've tried everything else, why not try herbs to help you stop smoking.

Look at it this way, herbs are commonly used for cooking, medicinal purposes, for adding flavour, and even for making tea. Why not use them to stop smoking too. Let's take a closer look at some of the herbs that are reported to help you stop smoking.

The first herb I will tell you about, I recommend talking to a doctor before using it. It contains a very toxic substance, yet it is extremely efficient at controlling nicotine addiction. The herb is called Lobelia, and the substance that gives it many of the same feel good, relaxing properties of nicotine is called lobeline.

Avena Sativa which can be widely found in wild oat plants is used to treat insomnia, nervousness, and anxiety. Many researchers say it will also aid individuals to stop smoking.

This next herb is reported to help combat the damages caused by smoking. Particularly the reduced blood circulation and the reduced memory ability of smokers. It is called Gotu Kola, or Centella Asitica. It is known to increase both memory and blood circulation.

Now for a herb that is reported to not only stifle ones natural desire to smoke, but also to fight the much dreaded side effect, weight gain. It's true, these are qualities attributed to the herb known as Garcinia Cambogia.

A few other herbs that have been said to help people stop smoking are Goldenseal, oak, willow, and Korean Ginseng. Korean Ginseng probably isn't that unfamiliar of a name to you, and it's natural stress relieving properties make it an excellent ally. Another one that will knock your socks off, is catnip. Yes I said catnip, we'll probably see smokers around the world fighting their cats for the catnip, but hey if it works, why not!!

An important aspect in trying to stop smoking, is to cleanse the toxins out of our blood. While drinking a minimum of eight glasses of water a day will help with this, there are also herbs that are ideally suited for this mission. A couple of them are Burdock root and Red clover.
