As I write this post, I am in an acupuncturist’s waiting room as my wife is getting a consult.
The waiting room is fabulous: very peaceful, with gentle guitar music in the background and an offer of an herbal berry tea by the receptionist.
I am aware of some of the literature which does show that some people benefit from acupuncture for certain conditions.
But I wonder – how much of this benefit derives from the exceptional waiting room experience?
