⚡️ Rapid Pain Relief. Real Results.

When pain takes over, it’s hard to think about anything else, sleep, mood, focus, even joy.

That’s where Battlefield Acupuncture comes in.

Originally developed for military use to relieve pain fast, this powerful auricular (ear) acupuncture method is now helping thousands of people reduce pain, restore movement, and feel calm again, naturally.

🩵 How it works:
Tiny gold needles are placed in specific points on the ear, each point connected to different areas of the body through the nervous system.

This triggers your brain to release natural pain-relieving chemicals and reset the body’s pain pathway. Most people feel relief within minutes, often during the session itself.

✨ Two options available:
• Auricular needles (removable) — ideal for single-session relief.
• ASP semi-permanent needles — stay in place for up to 3–5 days, giving longer-lasting benefits between treatments.

Whether you’re struggling with:
🦵 Back, neck or joint pain
💫 Migraines or tension headaches
🩶 Fibromyalgia or chronic pain
🔥 Post-injury recovery
💭 PTSD-related tension or emotional pain

Battlefield Acupuncture offers a calm, drug-free way to find relief and reset your nervous system.

💷 Sessions from just £35 with Anthony Thomas, NADA & Battlefield-certified auricular acupuncture practitioner at our award-winning Middlesbrough clinic.

Research has revealed that overworking (50 hours or more a week) can lead to structural changes in the brain that are similar to those that occur during chronic trauma.

These structural changes are noted particularly in areas associated with emotional regulation and executive function. These changes are the brain’s neuroadaptive response to chronic stress and can even have lasting effects on cognitive performance and emotional well-being.

These changes are due to chronic stress and lack of sleep, which are both characteristics of overwork. Stress and fatigue can alter neurotransmitter release and cause other physiological changes that may lead to anatomical changes in the brain.

In one particular study, researchers compared the brain scans of 110 healthcare workers, some of whom worked more than 52 hours a week, to those who worked standard hours.

The researchers found that those who worked more hours had significant changes in 17 brain regions including those responsible for executive functions like working memory and problem solving, and for managing emotions.

Acupuncture Awareness Week: Because Healing Isn’t Just Physical

You might think acupuncture is only for back pain or sore muscles.
But here’s the truth, it’s so much more than that.

Acupuncture is medicine for your whole system.
It calms the mind.
It steadies the heart.
It helps you exhale after months, sometimes years, of holding it all together.

In clinic, we see it every day:
Clients walk in tense, wired, exhausted…
and leave lighter, calmer, more themselves again.

Because acupuncture works where stress lives, in the body.
It helps regulate your hormones, quiet the overactive mind, and guide your nervous system out of survival mode and back into balance.

✨ It eases anxiety.
✨ Improves sleep.
✨ Balances mood.
✨ Reduces pain and inflammation.
✨ Restores your natural flow and energy.

You don’t have to push through another day feeling “off.”
You don’t have to wait until it gets worse.

This week, during Acupuncture Awareness Week, I’m inviting you to experience what true mind-body medicine feels like, the kind that reconnects you to calm, clarity, and your own vitality.

Because healing doesn’t start with fixing

It starts with flow.

Green tea is more than a refreshing beverage—it is a potent source of natural compounds that may protect the brain and enhance cognitive function. Recent research highlights the promising benefits of green tea in supporting long-term brain health and potentially reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

The key compounds in green tea, including catechins and polyphenols, have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which are major contributors to neuronal damage and cognitive decline. Regular consumption of green tea can therefore support the brain’s natural defenses, protect neurons, and enhance memory and learning capabilities over time.

Beyond brain protection, green tea also promotes overall wellness. It supports cardiovascular health, aids in metabolism, and contributes to balanced energy levels, making it a versatile ally for both mind and body. Studies suggest that even moderate, daily intake of green tea can have meaningful effects on cognition, focus, and mental clarity.

Incorporating green tea into your daily routine is simple. Enjoy it hot or cold, with or without natural flavorings, to harness its brain-boosting benefits. Over time, this natural beverage can help maintain mental sharpness, reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline, and enhance overall quality of life.
