Help to Stop smoking

There are many, many reasons to quit smoking; improve your health, improve your bank balance (my jaw dropped at the weekend when someone told me it was up to over £12 per packet for cigarettes.  £12!), among others.
Once you stop smoking you reduce your risk of certain health conditions:

• Erection problems (impotence).
  
• Fertility problems.
• Optic neuropathy - this is a condition affecting the nerve supplying the eye.
• Cataracts.
• Psoriasis.
• Gum disease.
• Tooth loss.
• Osteoporosis.

But……this can be a difficult decision to make.  Even if you want to stop, it can be difficult to take that plunge.  There are many nicotine replacement options out there, but these are not without their side effects and occasionally a dependency develops on these also. 

Homeopathy on the other hand is safe, gentle and effective and doesn’t cause any side effects or long-term damage.  The aim with homeopathic remedies is to restore you and your body to a place of balance as quickly and as gently as possibly.
There are a handful of remedies you can use to support you through this time and it would also be beneficial to see a homeopath to get a constitutional remedy to further support you through this transition. If you would like any more information on this just get in touch.  www.solashomeopathy.com/contact.html
