Description

In 1825, an English Earl, crippled with pain and despairing of his usual physicians, invited a young and unconventional doctor into his home. Days later, the Earl was relieved, and the doctor rich. To celebrate his remarkable recovery, the nobleman re-named his favourite racehorse "Acupuncture", to honour the technique that cured him. This account vivifies the characters, texts and events of acupuncture's, often surprising, 300-year-history in Britain, and begins to explain acupuncture's enduring appeal.
