Acupuncture is a regulated healthcare treatment involving the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific anatomical points to stimulate neurochemical and physiological responses. Research suggests acupuncture influences the release of endogenous opioids, neurotransmitters, and neurohormones such as endorphins, serotonin, and cortisol, while improving local circulation and modulating inflammatory pathways. These biochemical effects contribute to pain modulation, nervous system regulation, and overall physiological balance.
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying suction to the skin using cups to stimulate circulation, relieve muscle tension, and support tissue healing. The negative pressure created by cupping increases blood flow, promotes microcirculation, and can influence biochemical pathways by enhancing the release of endogenous opioids, improving oxygenation of tissues, and modulating inflammatory mediators such as cytokines. These effects can help reduce pain, improve musculoskeletal function, and support overall physiological balance.
Counselling is a structured, therapeutic process in which a trained practitioner provides support and guidance to help individuals address emotional, psychological, or behavioural challenges. Through evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioural strategies, mindfulness, and reflective dialogue, counselling can help regulate stress responses, balance neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, and reduce cortisol levels. These physiological and psychological effects support improved mood, emotional resilience, and overall mental wellbeing.
Cosmetic acupuncture is a natural, non-invasive treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific facial points and underlying tissues. The treatment promotes circulation, enhances collagen and elastin production, and supports lymphatic drainage. Biochemically, it can increase the release of growth factors, endogenous opioids, and other signaling molecules that reduce inflammation and improve tissue regeneration. These effects contribute to smoother skin, improved tone and elasticity, and a refreshed, youthful appearance.
