I have a nailbiting message board and of all the product solutions that have come up, hypnosis was
never thought of (also accupuncture was another option that wasn't thought of either).

Has anyone ever tried accupuncture? Results? Did it help?

Hi Rose,

I think your idea of a forum for nailbiting is awsome! I visited your site. Should think in lines of
placing an actual forum on it so that visitors can see their messages in almost real time.

Regarding your question on acupuncture for nailbiting, I think that acupuncture by itself would not
be enough to stop the habit. Of course, one can never second guess how the body would respond to any
treatment and there's anecdotal evidence that suggests acupuncture to be a good choice.

I treat nailbiting as I would treat any other compulsive disorder. That is, with a combination of
acupuncture and hypnosis. This protocol has yielded the best results in my practice. However, If I
had to only use one or the other, I would employ hypnosis first.

Good luck with your efforts,

There's an old treatment for nailbiting, as I recall it's a substance called bitter alum. You put it
under your nails and when you bit them you feel this horrible 'drawing in' of your mouth. Thus you
associate that horrible 'drawing in' with the nail biting. Anth
