Why can't I quit smoking? Come and try the ancient method of quitting smoking. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that long-term smoking can lead to lung qi damage, liver depression and qi stagnation, and phlegm stasis. The wisdom of our ancestors in quitting smoking emphasizes "treating both symptoms and root causes", helping smokers gradually break free from dependence by regulating their physical condition and alleviating withdrawal symptoms.

If the spleen and stomach are weak and cold, you can replace green tea with black tea and replace licorice with bergamot. Diabetes patients do not add rock sugar.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, what you smoke is not smoke, but a miniature factory. Smoke is not only a "gentle poison" but also a "health assassin". Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that tobacco is warm and dry, and belongs to the category of "heat toxins". Long term smoking can lead to the accumulation of heat toxins in the body, damage the lungs, and affect the circulation of qi and blood. The lungs are delicate organs that are susceptible to invasion by external pathogens, and harmful substances such as nicotine and tar in tobacco are the source of external pathogens. Meanwhile, modern science has discovered that a lit cigarette is like a miniature chemical factory, releasing over 7000 chemicals with each puff. Nicotine reaches the reward center of the brain at lightning speed and triggers dopamine surges within 5 seconds, an addictive mechanism comparable to heroin. Tar carries carcinogens such as benzo [a] pyrene and builds mucus plugs in the respiratory tract, gradually corroding the ciliary movement system. Data shows that smokers have a 23 times higher risk of lung cancer than non-smokers, and the incidence rate of coronary heart disease has increased 2-4 times. Second hand smoke can also affect the health of people around us. When children breathe air containing second-hand smoke, the risk of respiratory tract infection increases by six times, and the incidence rate of asthma increases by three times. Pregnant women inhaling smoke may cause changes in fetal DNA methylation patterns, which may lead to lifelong metabolic diseases. (New Society)
