Quitting smoking may in fact be the hardest thing you’ve ever decided to do. However, there is hope. Many people have spent thousands of dollars on stop smoking aids that don’t work. Now you can stop smoking naturally.

The most common ways people use to try and stop smoking today are hypnosis, acupuncture, zyban and other medications. Apparently Rob Mellor, a neuro-linguistic programming expert has developed a quit smoking program that really works. Did you know that herbs can help you quit smoking?

Yes, you heard me right, I did say herbs. I mean after all we do use herbs in cooking, preserving, enhancing our food, and even making teas. Is it that big of a stretch to consider them to help us stop smoking as well.

Lobelia is reported to be very effective in greatly reducing addiction to nicotine. Lobelia contains lobeline, which has many of the same calming effects of nicotine. It is also non-addictive, making for a good substitute for nicotine. However, it is a very toxic herb and excessive use can be harmful, so you should see your doctor or pharmacist before taking lobeline.

Have you ever heard of insomnia, nervousness and anxiety being described as side effects of quitting smoking. Well this next herb is used to treat those symptoms already. Therefore many researchers feel it will be an excellent tool to help people stop smoking. It is called Avena Sativa.

This next herb is reported to help combat the damages caused by smoking. Particularly the reduced blood circulation and the reduced memory ability of smokers. It is called Gotu Kola, or Centella Asitica. It is known to increase both memory and blood circulation.

Now for a herb that is reported to not only stifle ones natural desire to smoke, but also to fight the much dreaded side effect, weight gain. It’s true, these are qualities attributed to the herb known as Garcinia Cambogia.

A few other herbs that have been said to help people stop smoking are Goldenseal, oak, willow, and Korean Ginseng. Korean Ginseng probably isn’t that unfamiliar of a name to you, and it’s natural stress relieving properties make it an excellent ally. Another one that will knock your socks off, is catnip. Yes I said catnip, we’ll probably see smokers around the world fighting their cats for the catnip, but hey if it works, why not!!

An important type of herb to include in your attempt to quit smoking is one to get rid of the toxins in the blood. Burdock root and Red clover are excellent examples of herbs that are known to have this quality.
