LASER -SMOKING CEASSATION

Laser therapy technology is used on specific ear points that are used to release neurotransmitters in the brain such as dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins, the pleasure center of the brain, which help to break the addiction cycle. When an acupoint (an acupuncture nerve point, on your ear or on your body) is stimulated the brain can release the neurotransmitters that eliminate cravings from addiction withdrawal.
