Auricular Acupuncture in St Louis MO
The word “auricular” means “relating to the ear.” There are specific ear acupuncture points that help reduce nicotine withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to quit smoking. Dr. Dusty treats these points with a low-level laser, also known as a “cold” laser, that mimics an auricular acupuncturist. This painless treatment stimulates these acupuncture points to ease withdrawal symptoms and help a person through the difficult first week or so. When withdrawal symptoms are mild or non-existent, it’s so much easier to begin a new, tobacco-free life.
Acupuncture for quitting smoking has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Dr. Dusty trained on this method of treatment so he could bring its benefits to patients struggling with quitting smoking. A cold laser can also be beneficial for patients suffering from pain related to injury, inflammation or neuropathy.
Dr. Dusty’s auricular acupuncture results have been so remarkable that some patients fly in from out of town to get his help while they quit smoking
