Acupuncture offers customized solutions for small and large, furry and scaly patients. There is absolutely no need to believe in it to obtain better results. In fact, several skeptics decide to "try" acupuncture to test the effectiveness of this approach. It is often only after experiencing it that they wonder why they waited so long before "trying" it! Moreover, most people use the conveniences of daily life without knowing how they work, and many of them would probably be difficult to believe without having used them. Think of a simple technology like the electric light bulb. Everyone uses it now, and daily at that. Could you explain how it works? Probably not, but you use it nonetheless. Would you have believed in it without ever experiencing it in the dark... The same goes for acupuncture. We know something about the functioning of acupuncture, but those who have experienced it know it is not a question of believing in it or not.
Moreover, the effectiveness of treatments on children and animals is conclusive proof that acupuncture requires no belief on the part of patients to be effective. Children respond so quickly to acupuncture that it is usually possible to treat chronic conditions in just a few sessions.
Animals, on the other hand, respond so well that competition horse stables do not hesitate to invest in the specialized services of a veterinary acupuncturist to accelerate the healing process following a champion's injury. There are also veterinarians practicing acupuncture* who successfully treat your dog's ailments. All of this is simply possible thanks to the meticulous, multi-millennial observation of the functioning of the human organism, but also of the plant and animal world that determined the foundations of Oriental traditional medicine. To illustrate, Chinese doctors who specialize in the development of traditional medicines have precisely determined the type of diet to which a dairy cow should be exposed so that it would develop gallstones of a type precisely useful in traditional pharmacopeia to treat hepatic internal disorders in humans.
That being said, a minimum of open-mindedness is required to accept the administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments. At Clinique Shanti, you will never be asked to swallow dairy cow gallstones, but you will probably need to accept sitting or lying down so that ultra-fine, sterile, single-use acupuncture needles are gently introduced at precise points on your body to regulate your physiological functions, correct your personal tendencies toward imbalance by relieving blockages in the circulation of the meridians (jingluò).
