What are natural ways to help nicotine withdrawal when stopping cold-turkey?

nicotine
My dad has stopped smoking cold-turkey for health reasons and is experiencing nicotine withdrawal symptoms and he can not have things like the patch because he can not have nicotine in his body at all. What are some ways to help him- like are there over the counter calming aids that don’t add nicotine to the body- or gum chewing, fake smoking, herbs?

    Peppermints… Dont know what it is in them… but something about the mint flavor…

    Hard candy… or I even heard of Hall’s (something with menthol in it)
