I don't believe in such things or at least I didn't until I had acupuncture on the NHS for chronic back pain. It got rid of the pain for six days welcome relief. I was allowed three sessions only but those 18 days of no pain were a blessing. I still don't believe in it but......
It works !! Even one of my former dogs benefitted from it ... visibly changed him. No placebo effect there but .. nobody can explain it ?
 
Acupuncture has been scientifically been shown to work, with some mechanisms at least suggested if not proven, I haven't looked at it for years.
Dowsing maybe less so.
However - a suggested mechanism: maybe people are subconsciously aware of external factors which influence where 'targets' are likely to be, and have an unconscious motor movement in response? A kind of unconscious expertise.

I have a degree of xerostomia after radiotherapy. It has much improved over the years but in the early days it was pretty awful. I found a practitioner locally who had just the treatment . I had needles in my ears and the tips of my index fingers (that was ouch) and within half an hour I had a mouthful of saliva and my mouth remained fine for the rest of the day. I had a session twice a mon th for a while and I'm sure that kick started the recovery
I went in to that appointment a sceptic I must admit

Our local doctor stopped our eldest boy bed wetting with a needle like a fine drawing pin stuck to his earlobe. We massaged this pin before he went to bed and he was cured within a couple of weeks. It certainly amazed us.

I remember a fellow crew member, many years ago - used to turn up after days off with little bits of what looked like sticking plasters stuck to his ear, we assumed he'd had an accident and (unlike us) left it at that, then we realised the sticking plasters had become a permanent fixture so we tackled him. He had always had a problem with seasickness so had been advised to go and see an acupuncturist - the 'sticking plasters' held grains of rice in place, whenever he felt a bit queasy, he would rub these patches and the nausea would abate, he swore they worked, saved a promising career.
