Stop Smoking Naturally | Find Out Which Natural Herbs Help you Quit Smoking and Why!

 

Stop smoking naturally and finally conquer your tobacco addiction. As hard as it is to quit smoking, you can stop smoking now and stay cigarette free for life! In order to beat your addiction you need the proper tools and treatment to help you successfully stop smoking. It's imperative for you to understand that no matter how much control you exert over your physical addiction, if you are not placing an equal amount of attention on the emotional aspect of your cigarette smoking habit your chances for success will be very low.

Before we get into some of the natural stop smoking treatment ingredients and why they work to help you quit smoking, let's identify some of the actions you can take to begin training your mind to become smoke free.

When you first stop smoking, you must be prepared to combat a STRONG mental urge to smoke. In the first 24 hours it seems that you are fighting an uphill battle that will never be won. Do NOT let your mind convince you that you can't quit smoking! You CAN stop smoking! Be very mindful that – from day 1 – when you think you want a cigarette to tell yourself something along the lines of: I feel like I want a cigarette, and I don't want to be a smoker so I can CHOOSE not to smoke.

Tip #1 – Rehydrate: When your desire is high and you are working hard to convince yourself that you don't need to smoke, try drinking a tall glass of cold water or orange juice using the hand with which you used to smoke. The sipping of the water (or juice) will equate in your mind to the raising of your hand to your mouth as you did when you smoked. Using the hand with which you no longer have to smoke cigarettes will help your mind learn new associations with 'break time.'

Tip #2 – Mind Power: Additional mind powering techniques will go a long way, too, such as envisioning the liquid providing a real healthful benefit to your body that cigarettes never could.

Tip # 3 – Reach Out: If none of this works for you, get on the phone! Call a person you trust (a non-smoker) to talk you through the addiction. Again...Use the hand with which you used to smoke to hold the phone while you talk. Feel free to pace if you have to.

Most smokers are only able to successfully stop smoking by combating both factors of their smoking addiction: Mental and physical. Here are some of the most effective active ingredients in homeopathic stop smoking treatments that help you stop smoking naturally.

Aconitum Napellus

Aconitum Napellus is also called Wolfsbane, and it is a perennial native mainly to the northern portion of the globe. In its purest form, Aconite is a hallucinogen with alkaloid properties that affect the body much like mushrooms or LSD. In its diluted form, however, there are a multitude of health promoting benefits such as pain relief, reduction of anxiety, decrease in chest pains caused by coughing, and insomnia. These are all physical symptoms of withdrawals from nicotine that take place when you stop smoking.

Avena Oat

Avena is a class of oats that has been long recognized as an effective cure for increased tension, hysteria, and withdrawal symptoms from opium addiction. Addiction to opium is much like addiction to nicotine. When you quit smoking your body is forced to re-establish its own ability to produce vital neurological chemicals that help provide physical and emotional stability. It is this state of 'raw nervousness' that makes it virtually impossible to quit smoking without a treatment to help you stop smoking naturally.

Black Spruce

Black Spruce is actually another name for Abies Nigra, which is also used as a homeopathic ingredient to minimize anxiety and restlessness. Additionally, this natural herb is known for its ability to relieve coughing. This is an important natural stop smoking medication because the first 4-6 weeks after you stop smoking your smoker's cough will most likely get worse. Don't worry, though; as uncomfortable as it is, it's just your lungs performing a natural cleansing process that will help you significantly decrease your chances of acquiring an obstructive pulmonary disease such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema.

Nux Vomica

At first glance, this ingredient – like Aconite – seems like a natural herb with which you'd want no part of. It is a poisonous nut that carries many of the same physical properties as Aconitum Napellus with just as many healing properties when diluted for human consumption. The largest benefit to this ingredient in natural stop smoking treatments is that it helps control your appetite that is usually dangerously high when you stop smoking. It helps you keep your weight under control while you battle your tobacco addiction.

How does one stop a dog from jumping?

My husband and I have an one year old dog that is having trouble learning not to jump on people. We would love any advice on how we can get him to stop.

There are many different techniques that you can use to train your dog not to jump up. Some of them use all positive reinforcement and some use negative corrections and praise after. It's obviously up to you to decide what training method works best for you and your dog.

Here's a list of 4 of the many methods that either myself or other dog trainers I've worked with have used in the past...

1) Shaker can. Fill an old soda can that has been rinsed out with rocks, pennies, anything that will make noise. Every time the dog jumps, shake the can. It should startle him. When he stops praise and reward. If he immediately jumps again, repeat. May make the dog more hyper if the noise excites him. Could possibly make the dog skittish of loud noises too.

2) Water. Fill a water bottle and spray the dog in the snout when jumping. If the dog likes water then it won't work and he may continue to jump just to get sprayed. Could also make him hate water and make it hard for bath time.

3) Pinch collar and leash. If you know how to use a pinch collar properly this works pretty well. Attach a leash and give it a quick, firm tug and release the pressure immediately every time his feet come off the floor. It's the same correction that you would use if you were training him to walk by your side.

4) Avoidance. When the dog jumps up, turn around so your back is facing him and take a step away. Pay absolutely no attention to the dog until he is calm and in control. If he jumps again start avoiding him again. This technique is what I would try first. There aren't any negative side effects that your dog may attain. However, sometimes this technique takes a little longer and may only work when he is jumping on you. He will figure that he can still take advantage of guests, especially since guests are making a lot of noise about the dog jumping and not really trying to do anything to get him to stop.

When using any of the techniques listed above make sure you are also giving him a command. I suggest "off" because most people use the word "down" when they want their pup to lay down. Praise when he is doing what you want is essential.

I would also like to suggest getting a clicker to use while training him. Dogs respond very quickly with clicker training and it uses positive reinforcement. They are available for purchase at almost any pet store.
