Case Study - Psychological Disorders
Addiction - Smoking
Patient Details:
Male 49 years old
Problem Faced:
He used to smoke 28-30 cigarettes daily. He wanted to get rid of his smoking habit. He tried to quit smoking several times but unfortunately failed to do so.
Treatment Adopted:
A 10 days course of acupuncture along with ear acupressure was given. After a rest of 7 days, a course of 10 days was repeated. During the treatment, immediately after needling, he was asked to smoke continuously until end of the treatment session.
Result:
After 3 days of the treatment, the nausea was built up. Whenever he used to have an instinct to smoke, he used to light the cigarette but due to nausea he could not finish the cigarette. Progressively the daily cigarette count reduced to 3-4 after 5 days and 0 after 7 days. The treatment was completed after 10 days. To strengthen this effect, a 10 days course was repeated.
