In the year 1686, amidst a backdrop of historical events and cultural milestones, acupuncture was making waves in the 17th century. Soho, London became a hub for this ancient practice, with St Anne's Church on Wardour Street W1 serving as a center for healing. One notable figure during this time was Thomas Watson, an esteemed practitioner who dedicated his life to refining the art of acupuncture. His expertise attracted attention from influential individuals such as Sir William Dugdale and Arthur Earl Anglesey. Meanwhile, across Europe in France's Ardennes region, Albert Schultens explored the therapeutic potential of acupuncture along the picturesque River Meuse in Givet. This scenic location provided inspiration for his groundbreaking research. In Prague, Czech Republic, Hieronymus Kohl unveiled his masterpiece: The Fountain of Kohl. This magnificent structure stood as a testament to both artistic brilliance and holistic healing practices. The world of art also flourished in 1686 when Carlo Dolci captivated audiences with his masterful paintings that depicted scenes infused with spiritual significance and emotional depth. Amidst these cultural achievements, political figures like Sir William Coventry played pivotal roles in shaping history. Their actions reverberated far beyond their time and left lasting legacies that we still feel today. Music enthusiasts were enthralled by LULLY's opera "Armide, " which enraptured audiences with its enchanting melodies and captivating storyline. Its impact on music composition cannot be underestimated. Lastly, let us not forget about the Grand Condé Siege of Dunkirk—a significant military event that unfolded during this period. It showcased strategic brilliance and marked yet another chapter in European history. As we reflect upon all these remarkable moments from 1686—where acupuncture thrived alongside artistic endeavors and historic feats—we are reminded of how interconnected our past is to our present-day lives.
