Essential Oils to Quit Smoking

It takes more than willpower to become a true non-smoker again, rather than an "ex-smoker." Hypnosis helps you make the necessary subconscious changes, as well as conscious ones, so you can quit smoking once and for all.

When you use essential oils in combination with hypnosis, you're setting yourself up for rapid success. Not only is the aroma of the oil acting as a powerful anchor to post-hypnotic suggestions, but the properties of the oils themselves can help stave off cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

This powerful blend combines Lemon, Clove Bud, Cinnamon Cassia, Eucalyptus Leaf, and Rosemary essential oils.

HOW TO USE: 

• Diffuse with water diffuser or passive diffuser
• Place 1-2 drops on a cotton ball (or personal inhaler) and breathe in as needed.
• Carry a bottle of Germ Fighter with you and sniff it directly from the bottle throughout the day to reduce nicotine cravings.
• Place a drop on thumb and rub on roof of mouth as needed.
• Put 1-2 drops on toothpick and suck as needed. 
• Apply two to three drops of essential oil to your feet (big toes and/or arches) to help purge toxins. 
• Add one to two drops essential oil to a smoothie or drink as tea with lemon to detox toxins from the body.
