Hua Tuo, a native of Qiao County, is also known as Fu. I left my hometown to study in Xuzhou and familiarized myself with several Confucian classics (such as Poetry, Book, Book of Changes and Spring and Autumn Annals). Guo Pei Prime Minister Chen Gui recommended him as Lian Xiao, Qiu Huang Wan asked for appointment, but (he) did not take office.
Hua tuo knows how to keep in good health. At that time, people thought he would be 100 years old, but he still looked like a young man. He is also proficient in medical prescriptions and drugs. When he was treating a disease, he only used several kinds of medicines to make a soup. He knows the weight and proportion of those drugs in his heart, so there is no need to weigh them again. After the medicine is cooked, let the patient take it and inform the contraindications and precautions. After the dregs were poured out, the disease recovered.
If moxibustion is needed, there will be one or two acupoints, and each acupoint will have seven or eight moxa sticks. You should use your hands to eliminate the pain. If you need acupuncture, you don't have to prick one or two points. You put the needle down and say, "(acupuncture induction) should extend somewhere." Let me know if it arrives. " The patient said "here" and took the needle, and the pain soon recovered.
If the patient's body is stagnant, the efficacy of acupuncture and drugs will not play a role. If it is necessary to cut it, he will drink the "Ma Fei San" he prepared. He will be drunk to death after a while, so he will take out the product after the operation. If the patient is in the intestine, remove the diseased part of the intestine, clean the wound and infected part, suture the wound and apply ointment. After four or five days, the patient recovered and no longer felt pain. Within a month, the wound will heal and recover.
Brief introduction of Hua tuo
Hua Tuo (about 145-208), Zi Peiguo Bridge (now Longgang Township, yongcheng city City, Henan Province), was a physician in the Eastern Han Dynasty, specializing in internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture, especially in surgery. He anesthetized the patient with "Ma Fei San" and then performed laparotomy. He is the earliest medical scientist who used general anesthesia for surgical treatment in the history of world medicine. Hua Tuo paid special attention to health preservation and preventive health care, and created a set of "Five Birds Play" to imitate the movements of deer, bears, tigers, apes and birds, and often practiced to strengthen the body and get rid of diseases.
