My father quit smoking and lost weight using acupuncture. He took my grandma in to fix her allergies, he swears to it. I now have picked up his smoking habit. I never considered myself addicted since I never really felt like I needed a cigarette, always just wanted one, or smoked it because it was a routine thing to do, like in the car etc. Recently, I have had cravings were I just really wanted a cigarette, these cravings just make me want to quit now. I don’t want to smoke if im gonna have these cravings. I heard my dad talking to someone one time that whenever he had a craving he just pressed this part of your ear and the craving goes away… I tried look for this online but all I could find were advertisements for ear beads and staples. Does anyone know where this spot on your ear is? And also my dad keeps telling me to go to acupuncture for stress/anxiety, if there is a acupressure point for this too that would be great
most of my cravings are while i am working so i cant even smoke anyways, its just kind of uncomfortable, like im gonna do my job halfassed just so i can get out of there and finally smoke

I am dealing with stress and anxiety, currently receiving treatment of acupuncture and Chinese herbs for that. I am looking for a very good track to listen while driving and walking. Please, I need something relaxing and not too electronic!!!
I like New Age music like Deuter, Shastro, David Lanz and David Arkenstone (Narada Records). Something interesting in mind?
Please, be as specific as possible! I need to find every recommendation by I-Tunes or Amazon.

i know you are not suppose to take it while pregnant but what about while you are trying to get pregnant. i need to take it for anxiety. i would rather take an herbal supplement along with acupuncture then prescription medication.

My husband is the breadwinner, working during the day and I part time at night. We have two young kids and money is tight. He recently discovered that he want’s to go to school for acupuncture, a 4 year program. He would work during the day and go to school at night. I am supportive of his decision, but am concerned about how this will affect our life. I will have to find a different job, hardly see him, and once he begins practicing I worry if we can make it. While visiting schools we had a fight already, and I don’t want this to tear us apart. Anyone go through this? I need help on being supportive while remaining realistic.

I have a very close friend, she has been suffering from this for the last year and its been getting progressively worse!! The symptoms she suffers from most is muscle aches that seem to shift everywhere.

She has been to treatments like acupuncture, cognitive behavioral techniques, hypnotherapy and yoga, but none of it seems to be taking effect…. she is on anti depressants, but that also makes her feel bad just thinking about it.

aloha, had my acupunture app. yesterday afternoon. i’m a bit achey now esp. in my joints. any suggestions or thoughts? i’m being treated of anxiety/ panic. this is my second round of treatment and that was my second appointment.

in conjunction with..cognative therapy, and basic GAD disorder? ( general anxiety disorder)?

I think i have social anxiety disorder. I am very shy and when I meet new people or am in a group, I am usually quiet. I want to talk and I want to be social but I just cant or dont know what to say. This has affected my career. I have actually been fired over this. Managers cant get to know me and think I dont care about my job when indeed I do very much. My social life is also affected. I want to be around people but I have a hard time keeping friends due to my “shyness.” I tried to get therapy. It took me a lot to build up the nerve to call a therapist and make an appt but the therapist told me she wasnt taking new patients. I was so embarassed. There has to be an easier way to get help. Its too hard for someone like me to call a therapist and tell them I want an appt and then explain why I want it. What can I do? Has anyone tried acupuncture for this? I want to be outgoing, have friends, a good job, and a happy life.
