How to Fight Nicotine Withdrawal with Ease

August 21, 2009


Millions of people worldwide vow to give up their nicotine addiction every year and very few are successful. This is due to the effects that the nicotine has on your body. Over time your body tends to get dependant on it and requires it in order to carry out daily functions. When you try to withdraw from it you may experience symptoms like itching on your entire body, mood swings, extreme hunger and thirst, restlessness and lack of sleep. In most cases the fixation is normally oral and this can be a tricky habit to deal with; but with the right amount of confidence and will power you will be able to overcome this habit with ease.

During the first few days after you stop smoking your body will react in various ways; either physical or psychological. You may tend to get anxious and suffer from insomnia. There is a remedy for all the withdrawal symptoms that you go through, so you need not worry. Firstly, you need to start chewing gum when you stop smoking. Make sure that you have the sugar free kind; you don’t want to end up with dental problems while you are trying to kick this habit. This also helps to take care of your oral fixation. You can also try chewing on hard candy or eating a lollipop. These can also act as stress busters.

If you suffer from insomnia then you must have a glass of warm milk with a dash of nutmeg and a spoon of honey. The nutmeg will help to induce sleep. You can also try taking a warm bath before bedtime. It would be a good idea to add a few drops of lavender essential oil in the bath water as the aroma will help to reduce stress and calm your senses. You can also burn lavender scented candles or incense sticks in your house or your bedroom. This will help to prevent any anxiety attacks and restlessness that you may suffer from.

You must also make sure that you do not take up other vices as you try to kick this one. Normally, people who try to kick the butt end up with a sugar addiction or turn to alcohol for solace.
