Stop Smoking
- Smoking deprives the skin of oxygen and essential nutrients. It restricts the flow of blood, saps vitamin C and lowers vitamin A levels. Smoking is also a potent source of free radicals which cause premature aging of the skin. Vitamin C and A are anti oxidants which fight free radicals and without sufficient levels of both, the result is thinning of the skin, sagging skin, lines and wrinkles and a dull skin tone. A study in the International Journal of dermatology found that smokers were three times more likely to develop lines and wrinkles than non smokers.

The Amber centre has recently introduced A Revolutionary New Stop Smoking Programme.
This programme uses a combination of Su Jok Acupuncture, seeds, and moxibustion.
It stimulates key points in the body to detoxify the lungs, hence eliminating the cravings for a cigarette.
It also stimulates endorphins, which effectively replaces the effect that nicotine has on the body thereby eliminating cravings.
Two sessions are required a few days apart.
