• Burdock root and red clover help to cleanse the bloodstream of toxins.
• Cayenne (capsicum) desensitizes respiratory tract cells to irritants from cigarette smoke.
• Catnip, hops, lobelia, skullcap, and/or valerian root can be used to help reduce the nervousness and anxiety that may accompany nicotine withdrawal.  caution:  Do not take lobelia internally on any ongoing basis.
• Dandelion root and milk thistle protect the liver against harmful toxins from cigarette smoke.
• Ginger causes perspiration, which helps the body to shed some of the poisons ingested through smoking.  It also soothes stomach irritation occasionally experienced with the use of cayenne or lobelia.
• Slippery elm relieves lung congestion and coughs.
