Acupuncture was introduced to Europe in the seventeenth century by Willem Ten Rhyne, Dutch physician of the East India Company (1679) that would have discovered this alternative medicine in Nagasaki, Japan. Louis Berlioz, the composer's father, was the first attempt the practice of this traditional Chinese medicine in France (1810). But it was not until 1927 that acupuncture will become popular through the work of the French consul in China, George Soulie de Morant. He published on his return to France imposing a treaty that still refers to this day.
