Quitting smoking is no small feat. At ‘I Finally Quit,’ we understand that ‘Giving Up Is Easy… Quitting Is Hard.’ Many falter not due to a lack of willpower but because they lack a robust plan to quit. While there’s no magic solution to eliminate cravings or the stress of quitting, aromatherapy and essential oils offer promising low-cost and straightforward strategies to include in your quitting toolkit.

Below, we’ll introduce some essential oils that I personally find beneficial for relaxation and calm. When used in conjunction with other quitting strategies, these natural remedies might boost your odds of quitting for good.

While essential oils offer numerous benefits, it’s crucial to remember they are not a cure for addiction. They serve as a supportive tool to alleviate some symptoms associated with quitting smoking, such as stress, anxiety, and cravings. Whether you choose to quit “cold turkey” or gradually reduce your nicotine intake, aromatherapy can provide a soothing presence in your journey.

One of the advantages of using essential oils over traditional nicotine replacement therapies (NRT) is the absence of side effects commonly associated with NRT, such as headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Essential oils offer a natural way to support your body and mind as you work towards quitting.
