subjects revisited - again~~~~

[Guest guest]

I need help with 2 subjects, would like inputs, recipes, personal

experiences, etc. with the following that I want to help my son with. Thanks

in

advance~~~

 

1. Help with quitting smoking. He wants/is going to try to quit smoking

again. He has " cleaned " up his act as far as drinking & trying a more healthy

diet etc. I think he may have quit alcohol, has cut waaay back on caffeine

as far as his Dr. Peppers. Drinking more green tea, the tazo teas although

they do have the sugars. And other diet changes. Has been reading some herbal

sites. I really would like to help my son if I can, I know he has to do it

on his own but if anyone knows about any herbs, eo's etc. that may help I

would like to help in this area. Can you tell I love him *S* But the Mom's

can

only do so much, too old to kiss & make it better. He's in his late 30's &

even though Mom preached about the smoking & other " vices " my rebellious

teenager did not listen - he is a very heavy smoker & started in his early

teens. Don't know if this info helps.

 

2. Second thing is hair loss/thinning. I know this was just touched on but

if I mainly remember it was more in the " women with thinning hair " area.

Anyone had any personal experiences with eo/herbal blends with good results? I

know we would be rich if this was the case but I am trying anyway - thanks

in advance. He is also " worried " in this area.

An excellent book for him to read is Allen Carr's 'Easy Way to Quit Smoking;

it's helped a lot of people.

Georgia,

 

Hey. Poly sorbate 80 can help a bit. It's an emulsifier and it helps take

the dead cells out of the hair follicle. It helped my friend who has male

pattern baldness grow back some new peach fuzz... Other than that Massaging

the scalp can help as well As for herbs and stuff I'm not at a place I can

do the research right now, however I do know that taking biotin can help

keep the hair he has already... On the smoking front... I usually just

started counting adding up the amount that the cigg's cost and visualizing

what I could do with that..... And If worse comes to worse you can use NLP

techniques on him... Have him imagine the worst thing in the world that

will turn his stomach and make him so sick he wants to throw up, and imagine

that feeling and smell every time he picks up a cigg, and if it's bad

enough... He'll stop.... Or you can get him to take his pack of cigg's and

find the biggest pile of dog dooo you can imagine and stick the filters in

them, and then.... Put them back in the pack... Buy another pack and open it

and take the doggie doo cigg's and mingle them with the others.... Then

when he goes to smoke one it's like Russian roulette....

 

Can you tell I've thought about that one before?

The flower essence Nicotiana offers great support

for those quitting tobacco.

Georgia, several things to suggest...

 

1. If you want a totally natural remedy... two essential oils have been

tested effective in helping to lower the # of cigarettes smoked. I think

most people are familiar with the study done on Black Pepper, but there are

also some case studies done using Angelica Root.

 

I think the two oils work very differently... black pepper more on a

physical level... Jeanne Rose says it 'scratches' the throat a bit, the

way the cigarette smoke does... the Angelica Root sort of helps 'shut

down' emotions... not normally a good thing for any of us... but if he is

in the " I NEED a cigarette " mode because of stress, etc, may help.

 

I'd use one of those little blank inhalers for each and have him try them.

 

NON natural things that have helped me in the past... THE PATCH, and

Wellbutrin.... a mild antidepressant that is often prescribed to aid with

smoking cessation.

There was recently a sidebar in First for Women magazine (in an article on

thinning hair!) which mentioned a product that we sell... the blend we

use in the product has been tested effective for alopecia, but NOT for

thinning hair... the author of the article made a huge leap of logic (or

illogic)... you may read the article online at

http://www.naturesgift.com/simulating-scalp-article.htm

 

 

We've had positive feedback from some folks who found us via the magazine

and used the blend...

 

whether it will help him or not, who knows!

I didn't notice anyone recommend EFT yet... the website is

http://emofree.com/ although I really recommend in this case working

with a professional EFT practitioner who has experience with smoking

cessation or other addictions.
