“I would like to quit smoking”, “I commit myself to go on a diet”, “I will increase physical activity”: can (good) intentions become real commitments? I asked myself this every time I promised myself to “do something” that I knew was important to improve the quality of my life. When it comes to following new routine that actually serve to give a positive turn to unhealthy habits, you must not compromise and bring out tenacity and motivation. I learned it … traveling. But above all by meeting with people who, after having tried a thousand ways to abandon addictions that had strongly limiting effects also for the management of their daily lives, had managed to “break the vicious circle” by relying on alternative medicines. Thanks to naturopathy and ayurveda, for example, it is possible to get away from nicotine abuse, making smoking a memory. I was able to verify it personally by gathering the direct experiences of some guests of centers in India, Thailand and Europe who developed targeted and personalized programs capable of defusing psychological and physical dynamics often the cause of the onset of addiction.
At the Prakriti Shakti center in Kerala, for example, you learn the power of self-healing to develop the ability to correct an inappropriate lifestyle by transforming it into a beneficial one. Dedicating to the practice of Yoga and Naturopathy in the most authentic way, the team of doctors and therapists accompanies the mental, physical and spiritual awakening that leads to a deep understanding of the state of health and individual needs. The individual needs are the basis of the evaluation of the Ayurvedic doctors of Sitaram Ayurveda Retreat, a NABH accredited Ayurveda center. In this place of the soul, the perfect combination of traditional Kerala hospitality and the most authentic Ayurveda, it is possible to follow treatments studied with a scientific approach but inspired by nature. The most modern diagnostic methods are thus accompanied by classic Ayurvedic treatments and supportive therapies, such as physiotherapy, yoga and naturopathy with the aim of building full well-being. Objective and not chimera also for Chiva-Som, in Thailand. Actually, in this timeless energy retreat, a real wellness adviser welcomes you, ready to listen and understand your deepest needs, to guide your in a regeneration itinerary entrusted to treatments that lead to the sublime meeting of body and spirit. From here begin the inner rebirth and abandonment of negative practices, such as that of smoking. From Thailand to Spain the step is short if you want to say goodbye to tobacco. Also at the SHA medical SPA, located near the beach of El Albri, in Alfaz del Pi near the picturesque town of Altea, a specific “Anti-Tobacco Program” has been developed, which in 7 days, using phytotherapy, acupuncture, laser therapy, oxygen therapy, relaxation techniques, but also psychotherapy sessions, massages, yoga, tai chi and nature walks, allows you to quit smoking naturally by reactivating the body’s functions. And good intentions become reality.
“I have often found myself with a goodbye to make, a suitcase to prepare, a radical change to deal with and a new dimension to find. Managing changes in work, life and prospects have led me to my most authentic metamorphosis: to make a profession of the travel experience.
