Hua Tuo is a famous doctor with excellent medical skills, especially in surgery. Wherever he goes, he will be warmly welcomed by people. He is not only proficient in prescription science, but also admirable in acupuncture. Every time he uses moxibustion, as long as he takes one or two acupoints and moxibustion for seven or eight times, he will get well. When acupuncture treatment is used, only one or two acupoints are used to tell the patient where acupuncture will feel. Then after the needle touched the place he said, the patient said, "Here we are." He pulled out the needle and recovered immediately. If the pathogenic factors stagnate in the body and acupuncture and drugs cannot be directly realized, he will use surgery to get rid of the patient. The "Ma Fei San" he used was the earliest anesthetic in the world. Before the operation, the patient was given hemp boiling powder, and soon fell asleep, unconscious, and did not wake up until after the operation, with little pain. After the operation, he applied ointment to the stitched wound, and the pain was gone in four or five days. The wound will heal within a month, and the medical skill is very good.
Hua Tuo also advocates guided health preservation. He created the "Five Animals Play", imitating the shapes, movements and demeanor of five animals to stretch the bones and muscles and dredge the meridians. Five birds, namely tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird, can make hands and feet flexible and blood vessels unobstructed, and can also prevent and treat diseases. His student Upp Sang uses this method to keep fit. When he was 90 years old, he was still hearing and seeing, and his teeth were clenched.
Hua tuo is proficient in medicine, especially surgery. According to "Biography of Hua Tuo in the Later Han Dynasty", Hua Tuo "was good at prescribing prescriptions, but there were only a few kinds of medicines, and it was true that he was divided into Thai baht. Acupuncture is just a few places. If it is caused by illness and acupuncture can't reach it, he will get drunk first and have no sleep. If he breaks his abdomen, he will accumulate. There are dozens of medical records of Hua Tuo, all of which embody Hua Tuo's brilliant medical skills, involving internal and external medicine, gynecology, obstetrics, pediatrics, facial features, acupuncture and other disciplines. He adapted himself to his illness and adopted various treatments. He cured diseases such as intestinal carbuncle and semi-rot of spleen by surgery, which turned the patient from danger to safety. When Hua Tuo successfully anesthetized patients with Mafeisan and performed abdominal surgery, surgical anesthesia in other countries in the world was still in the exploratory stage. It is in the prevention and treatment of other diseases that Hua Tuo is good at treating according to syndrome differentiation. He cured dizziness (similar to hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis) by pricking blood therapy.
Huatuo paid special attention to health preservation and preventive health care, and put it into practice, which was unique in theory and practice. Hua Tuo "knows the art of nature, but he is still a hundred years old, and people think he is immortal." He said to his disciples, "The human body should do work, but it should not be extreme." . Shake it, the valley gas will disappear, the blood will circulate, and the disease will not be born. For example, the household pivot will be immortal. "(Biography of Hua Tuo in the Later Han Dynasty) He summed up and created the" Five Birds Play ",imitating the movements of deer, bears, tigers, apes and birds. Regular practice can strengthen the body and eliminate diseases. If you feel sick, you will feel relaxed, if you play a game of bird and sweat. Hua Tuo also attached importance to abstinence and health care. He created a drug with anti-aging effect, which can nourish the five internal organs, make people fit and blacken their hair after long-term administration.
