                                     Introduction to Addiction Packages

Addiction is a chronic psychological disorder in the forms of drug addiction, substance abuse, or
compulsive overeating. Drug addiction is characterized by impaired control over the drug,
preoccupation with use, continued use despite negative consequence, and sometimes evidence of
physical dependence on the drug. Substance abuse refers to the harmful or hazardous use of
psychoactive substances, including alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs. Compulsive overeating is also
sometimes called food addiction, which is characterized by an obsessive/compulsive seeking food.
Compulsive overeating usually leads to weight gain and obesity.  Unfortunately, no scientific methods
prove to be succesful for the treatment of addiction. As a result, increasing number of people are
seeking alternative approaches to get it controled. Among them, acupuncture has become a popular
method in the control of many forms of addictions.

Principles

In Chinese medicine, addiction is mainlly due to Yin-deficiency associated with  toxic-heat. The major
principles in the treatment of addiction are Yin-tonifying and heat-purging.
