Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the IQS treatment work?
The IQS treatment works by combining the latest technology with the principles of reflexology. A device is applied to the outer ear and gentle electrical pulses stimulate pressure points located on the outer ear. These pressure points are connected to different areas and systems of the body through “Meridians” and by stimulating them it encourages the release of endorphins, a natural body chemical. These endorphins, released in the relevant system, cover the molecules left over by Nicotine and other harmful substances, and block the receptors associated with Nicotine addiction. This process removes the need to smoke from your body and your life and leaves you feeling refreshed and revitalised.
