“My ideal client is looking to get out pain and discomfort, and/or bring their cholesterol, blood sugar and/or blood pressure within a healthy range, improve their breathing, digestion, immune system, and physical/mental vitality. They understand that their condition came about due to a habitual lifestyle that put their mind/body in the current condition and it will take an average 1-3 months of frequent acupuncture treatments with or without the adjunct of herbal medicine to return their condition to a healthy state – and that they will make the necessary changes to their lifestyle in order to maintain it. I look at your body like a grid. After we identify the imbalance, we apply acupuncture to the counterbalance location along your body’s grid. When you get a cut, your body knows where to apply the repair. When we apply acupuncture, we hack into this self-healing mechanism and boost the healing away from where we insert the needles. Anxiety and worry come about because we do not understand how to fulfill a certain task – then feel overwhelmed/defeated/giving up. I will explain to you how your condition can be restored to balance, with an easy plan of action. Come for your acupuncture treatments, where I do the work, and make the changes I advise, where you do the work.” Dr. Shant Baboujian

Last year I went for blood work and the results said I had kidney and liver damage, the numbers were not good. Doctor said come back in 3 months and we will test again before starting treatment. I told my brother and immediately we began my acupuncture, herbal tea and lifestyle change treatment plan. At the next appointment I had no kidney or liver damage, the numbers were exactly where they should be. ♰
Last year I began to have menstrual cycle problems, I thought I was going thru menapause. Again with acupuncture and herbal teas my system went back to its regual normal cycle. Pshhh…Im too young to start menapause.
Two years ago while running errands, I was wearing a heavy jacket and sweating, so I took my jacket off and a light breeze hit my back. The next day I felt a punch from the back of my spine to the front of my stomach, I called my brother, he asked my some questions and after answering he said go to the hospital and get scanned. After getting scanned and getting the results they said nothing is wrong, so I came home. The next few days the pain got worse, I could not sit or stand, everything I did hurt. My body began to spasm uncontrolably, I could not speak, so I called 911 and they rushed me to the hospital. The Doctor said there is nothing they can do about it. I was officially on bed rest, I could not move. I called my brother and he said he’s coming home for Thanksgiving. On Thursday he began the acupuncture treatments and gave me oriental herbal teas. On the second day I was finally able to use the bathroom after not going for 5 days. On the third day I was able to sit comfortably, stand and walk. Western medicine told me they can’t do anything for me. My acupuncturist brother healed me and brought me back to my feet in exactly 3 days. ♰
I had an x-ray done on July 6 2019 and x-rays showed 4 bone spurs on my right and left heel. My brother gave me herbal pills to take 3 times a day for 3 months when I got another x-ray it showed my left foot was clear of bone spurs and only 1 left on my right. I continued taking the pills for 1 more month and now I have no bone spurs left.
In 2015 after having my first baby I was not producing milk. My brother did acupuncture and I began producing milk. After giving birth he gave me a mix of dried herbs to diffuse and drink to replenish and restore nutrients lost during and after my pregnancy.
I used to get migraines from the early morning shifts and constant drama at work, my brother gave me an herbal tea to drink, within minutes I felt the pain leave. These herbal pills and teas do not have side effects so they can be taken as needed.
The testimonials are endless in my family and from patients. Dr. Shant is a Doctor who takes his time and listens to each patients pain, medical problems and lifestyle. After assessing the information given by the patient, he gives each individual his or her own treatment plan; the end result after joined efforts by both Dr. Shant and the patient, the patient is healed.
