I am looking for an accupuncturist? (sp) in the Houston area. I have heard they can help for smoking cessation. My wife is trying to quit and thinks it would help. Does anyone know someone reputable?
Actually, I know two. One is a member of the BBS and HUGE Rockets fan, in fact. The first is Chris Axelrad (the big Rockets fan) with the Center for Healing Energetics. You can get all his information from his website: http://www.healingenergetics.com/ The other is Dr. Wu with the Houston Acupuncture & Herb Clinic on S. Shepherd. He is really good and has been doing it a long time. 713-529-8332 Good luck!
hmm anyone know how it works actually? been having quite a bit of trouble sleeping lately (bout the last week , little more) with sweating while trying to fall asleep coupled with anxiety that I won't fall asleep each night because of the sweating... would acupuncture help this?
Some beers may help out with your problem. Actually I tend to have a very similar problem you are describing. Trouble falling asleep and when i finally do I shortly wake up sweating and not being able to get back to sleep. Exercise usually helps me out quite a lot.
Thank you for the info everyone - particularly Jeff. Does anyone know some effective methods for quitting smoking? I quit in Oct. '96 using patches. The patches helped me.
Zyban (Bupropion) works really well for some people. For others, it does nothing. Worth a try if your wife is serious about quitting and has no contraindications.
