what are the ways to quit smoking/help other general problems using acupressure?
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 can’t say I’ve ever heard of the pressure point thing.
For me, I smoked for about a year and I experienced the same things you did. And just like you, when I started getting cravings and noticed that I was becoming addicted, I wanted to quit right away. I didn’t have any special method though.
Quitting takes a lot of willpower and determination over almost anything else. And I dunno if it’ll help, but when I was quitting and I had a random craving, I’d distract myself with something like playing a video game or exercise. Maybe that would help?
Nux Vomica 30 is the medicine is the lead medicine in homeopathy to reduce the craving for cigarettes. You can also use Avena Sativa Q as tonic. There are few examples of demonstrated treatment in the web google “udaya kumar OM stop smoking” and you will find how even alcoholics were helped with by homeopathic medicines(www.homeopathyandmore.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t). Three times daily as long as required. Now, Nux Vomica works on the anger of a person. Anger in turn is related with stress too. The anger point is controlled by acupressure point for thyroid and parathryroid. This point is on the both the hands the area below the thumb which is called the girdle of venus. The most raised portion in the hand. There will be pain there, if you are prone to anger. Two minutes pressure a day is all that is required. Repeat it every day until required benefits are acquired. Pressing the whole of the ear for two minutes is a healthy exercise and pain on any point is indicative diagnosis. For points on the ear Google “Acupressure ear points” ” Acupuncture Ear points” AND CLICK ON TO THE “IMAGES” not on “Web Sites”. PLENTY OF IMAGES WILL COME PARTICULARLY IN ACUPUNCTURE POINTS. TAKE THE SITE FROM THERE AND GOOGLE AGAIN WITH THE SITE TO REACH APPROPRIATE SITES. THERE ARE TOO MANY SITES. The acupuncture point and acupressure points are the same reflex points.
Normally only three days or 72 hours is all that is required for the craving for cigarettes to wane and thereafter the will power takes over. Since you are not a chain smoker or habitual smoker and you have the intention to quit it is very easy for you. Just announce that you have stopped smoking loudly among your friends. That will give you the courage to go through thebiological craving, because if you start again it makes you a little small in front of your friends. That is sufficient. A determination and a realisation that it is not good for you and for those around you is the best mind set to stop the smoking. With best wishes.
I hope this helps.
