  Apparently raspberry leaf tea helps cleanse the blood. Keep lots of crunchy carrots or celery around, washed and ready to eat…might help?

  If you have a desire to stop the use of tobacco, you can put together your own kit.

  Here’s what you can include:

  Xiao Yao Wan, the Chinese herbal tea
  Lemon
  Dental floss
  Cotton in small vial or bottle that is scented with lavender oil
  Card with help line numbers
  Natural licorice twigs
  Inspirational statement
  Sticker to remind you of your commitment to your health
  Brochure from the American Cancer Society
  Information on Nicotine Anonymous
  Chinese herbal tea, lavender essential oil and natural licorice (NOT the candy) may be found at local stores that carry herbal teas and other traditional herbal medicines.

  Here is the rationale for each object in the kit:

  The Chinese herbal tea, Xiao Yao Wan, is both soothing to drink and assists in detoxifying the nicotine from the body.
  Lemon juice is added to a glass of water that should be taken each morning and evening to cleanse the liver.
  Dental floss may be used to floss after meals, a primary time for many smokers to have a cigarette. The flossing not only promotes good dental hygiene but also gives the individual a new and healthy ritual to replace the habit of smoking after a meal.
  Lavender is a naturally soothing scent that relaxes the nervous system. The scented bit of cotton may be sniffed during times of stress or craving.
  Reaching out to talk and get options to a cigarette is helpful during times of craving. You may also list a number of supportive friends who are willing to take your calls when you are feeling a craving.
  Natural licorice may be chewed or nibbled in place of snacks or sugary candy. Chinese licorice, which is called Gan Cao, is a twig that contains a sweet component that actually lowers sugar cravings; it appears to make cigarettes taste unpleasant if there is a slip. It is the only herb that relaxes all of the body’s 12 meridians so it makes a person a little less tense.
  Inspirational statement may be read as often as you need as a reminder to keep your commitment to your health.
  Sticker will also serve as a supportive reminder and may be placed in a location that has been a common smoking place, such as the telephone or the car dashboard. Use additional "sticky" notes that you make yourself in as many places as you wish.
  Brochures and other materials can be read both to provide information and to offer resources for additional help. Nicotine Anonymous is a support group that uses the proven principles of the Twelve Steps to stay abstinent from nicotine.
  Remember to practice deep breathing and simple yoga stretches to cleanse and comfort your body. Give yourself a simple massage or find someone to give you a massage.
