Herbs That Can Help You Quit Smoking?

Question

Hi everybody I'm after some content information about herbs that can help you quit smoking, if you know of any books, news media or herbalists online who can help, that would be wonderful, I guess specifically I want to know of herbs that people have actually used, the dosage and period in which you can safely consume them. I have heard that sage,marjoram and green teas, can be quite useful, but I haven't personally tried these herbs, hopefully someone else has.

I am also wanting to use this information for my website

so I will need resources of where the information or source came from if possible, always give credit where credit is due I say!

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

Lobelia has an alkaloid that works on the same brain receptors as nicotine (the nicotine acetylcholine receptor) and thus will diminish cravings.  It can be taken internally, and would be healthier that way

Answer 2

In addition have something to do with your hands, like crochet, or knitting.  The idle hand wants to hold a cigarette.

And when you begin, don't drink alcohol, that makes you want to smoke too.  Good Luck & God Bless

Answer 3

There aren't any herbs that a professional would suggest you use in an attempt to quit smoking, like many other ideas including hypnosis and lasers.  

There are a number of medications that are clinically proven to help in quit attempts including Nicotine gum, Nicotine Inhalers, Nicotine patches, Zyban, Wellbutrin, and the newest drug available is Chantix.  

The best idea is to go to your doctor and discuss it with them, they will be able to help you pick the best medication for you.  

ALSO- it is proven that getting counciling, either one-on-one or in a group is highly beneficial as well as support from friends or family.
