Herbs to Quit Smoking and Manage Nicotine Cravings

Cigarrest is what helped me the most with managing my symptoms and getting through the hardest first few weeks.



The program is designed to help you deal with both parts of the addiction - the physical and the psychological. While the tablets or gum help you cope with the physical withdrawal; the behavior modification program helps you identify the habits and patterns associated with your addiction. Using the CigArrest booklets and audio tapes will reinforce your decision to stop smoking by providing helpful exercises, daily affirmations and personal benefits to be gained. Overcoming the habits associated with smoking is the biggest challenge to quitting and staying smoke-free!

Some of the following was borrowed from the Cigarrest webpage. I found a lot of this information useful and reassuring when I was trying to find the best product to help me quit. This company has been around for 20 years and I can say without question that it's definitely worth a free trial.

The active ingredients work to make you feel more comfortable while trying to quit by relieving nervous tension, irritability and the cravings associated with withdrawal. The combination of homeopathic ingredients utilize extremely small doses of appropriate medicines to immediately stimulate the body's natural defenses. The individual ingredients work as follows:

Lobelia inflata (Indian Tobacco) - is an herb whose pharmaceutical properties are similar to nicotine. It is dual in its activities, acting as both a relaxant and a stimulant.

Cinchona officinalis (Peruvian Bark) - treats edginess, nervous exhaustion, indigestion.

Daphne indica (Spurge Laurel) - helps with tobacco cravings and inability to sleep.

Plantago major (Plantain) - produces disgust for tobacco in those who chew it and cures neuralgia resulting from tobacco.

Calcarea phosphorica (Calcium Phosphate) - used to treat headaches, hoarseness, burning throat and cough which can be made worse from tobacco and tobacco smoke. Smokers are usually deficient in calcium.

Nux vomica (Poison nut) - is an herb used in minute amounts as a restorative preparation. Used to treat insomnia and irritability as well as coughing and scraping in the throat made worse by smoking tobacco.

While Cigarrest helped me the most with the majority of my cravings and withdrawal symptoms, I did find two other supplements to be very effective and helpful. Both of these also offer a free no risk trial if you are interested.

Acai Berry Select.


The Acai Berry is a Brazilian Fruit that enhances the metabolism and immune system. It has more than twice the antioxidants of blueberries and promotes overall health and well being. Try a free bottle and see for yourself!



ReloraMAX is another fantastic natural product that helped me manage nicotine cravings during my first few weeks tobacco free.

I used these three products to successfully quit smoking for good. At this point I have not had a cigarette in six months and I feel better and more energetic with every day that goes by. My cravings were definitely there, but they were much easier to deal with than when I had tried quitting cold turkey or using the gum before.
