Hmmm, let me see, home remedies for addiction.
No, no, haven't seen that one work, nope.
Ok, if you want to get serious about your addiction, and you truly are an addict, "home remedies" are going to do all of zero for your problem, which is way deeper and fundamentaly entwined to your emotional and psychological background in most cases.
While it may be true that the addition of a "home remedy" might give you a placebo effect, that, combined with therapy and super soul searching on every level, along with but not limited to, an environmental analysis to search out any items in your life that are decreasing your overall ability to produce the brain chemicals needed to feel good about yourself on a biological level, without the need for chemical stimulation and/or dulling down of your HPTA axis, aka, your fight or flight system.
In the beginning of my my own quest to find out if I could "fix" myself, and having a very broad knowledge of supplements and potions of all kinds to begin with, I tried a pile, and I can also tell you from this experience emphatically, if a home ready "cures you" then, you were not really an addict to begin with.
Start with: sitting quietly by yourself and contemplating why you feel the need to do your drug/s of choice and what situations stimulate you to seek them out.
Getting well from addiction takes courage, resilience and Much, much more than a dash of "moms secret addiction remedy"
I did not say that a great diet, exercise and targeted supplement regimen are not part of a good recovery program.
That is also fundamentaly different than a "home remedy" and part of what could be described as a holistic lifestyle change.
