Los Angeles Area, CA (PRWEB) November 08, 2011

Millions die, contract cancer or suffer cardiovascular or respiratory difficulties because of one simple act: smoking cigarettes. If smoking is so severely debilitating, why do people indulge in this deadly habit? American Cancer Society wishes to help provide motivation to quit.

Dr. Carol Francis and hypnotherapist Mary O’Maley rallied their community retailers to place trash cans outside their stores and give a token reward to people who threw their cartons away on the American Cancer Society’s stop smoking day, always the third Thursday in November.

Great Herbs To Help You Quit Smoking

Quitting smoking can be one of the best decisions a person can make. There are several options on the market today to help, but one that people rarely consider is the use of natural herbs to curb cravings and the anxiety that comes with quitting. As well as helping ease the withdrawals of quitting nicotine, there are also several herbs that can aid in the body’s recovery from the ravages that smoking takes on it. Let’s take a look at some of the more useful herbs that one can put to use to make quitting cigarettes as easy as is possible.

One of the biggest problems quitters run into is having high anxiety levels when they stop smoking and no way to ease the tension. How many times have you tried to quit, and given up because you had a bad day. Passion flower extract and chamomile are two great examples of herbs that are known to take the edge off.

Of course, a cup of tea isn’t always convenient. Tinctures and even herb-infused toothpicks serve as great substitutes for the traditional drink.

The lobelia plant, a well-known super herb is said to mimic the effect nicotine has on the brain, and is not addictive. This makes the herb very important in an herbal regimen with this cause in mind. This can keep the mind thinking it has it’s nicotine, and will ease cravings and anxiety. As well, the lobelia plant helps aid in removal of congestion in the lungs that may have built up over the years, and soothe coughing, which will make any smoker a bit more happy.

Another herbal supplement that can be useful when quitting is coltsfoot extract. Much like lobelia, the plant serves several functions that help repair the damage of smoking.

Coltsfoot loosens up congestion and soothes coughing, and also helps repair damaged lung tissue.

As you can see, there are several natural herbal supplements that someone who is quitting smoking can use. And unlike the patches and gums, these remedies are very inexpensive and quite easy to obtain. Of course, one should always consult a physician before taking any supplement. With these herbs, used alone or in conjunction, the seemingly impossible dream of quitting smoking may finally come true.
