Hua Tuo, a native of Qiao County, is also known as Fang. I have roamed and studied in Xuzhou, and I am familiar with several classics. Guo Peisi recommended him, and Qiu Huang Wan called him to serve, but he didn't take office. Hua tuo knows how to keep in good health. At that time, people thought he was nearly a hundred years old, but he still looked like a mature man. He is also proficient in prescription drugs. When he was treating a disease, he only used a few herbs to make soup. He knows the weight and proportion of drugs in his heart. He doesn't need to weigh again. After the medicine is boiled, let the patient take it, and tell the patient the contraindications or precautions. With Hua Tuo gone, the patient will be fine. 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 acupuncture is needed, just stick one or two acupoints and say to the patient, "Acupuncture induction should extend to a certain place. Please let me know if it arrives. " The patient said "here" and immediately took the needle, and the pain soon healed. If the patient's body accumulates and stagnates, the curative effect of acupuncture and drugs can't be effective. If you want to gut him, he should drink his own "Ma Fei San". After a while, the patient will be as drunk as death, so he will surgically remove the affected area and take out the accumulated material. If the patient is in the intestine, cut off the diseased part of the intestine, clean the wound and susceptible parts, then suture the abdominal incision and apply ointment. After four or five days, the illness recovered and the pain stopped. During the operation, the patient did not feel any pain, and the wound healed and recovered within one month.

Officials in yamen, Ni Xun and Li Yan, came to see a doctor at the same time. Both of them had headaches and fever, and the symptoms of illness were exactly the same. Hua Tuo said: "Ni Xun wants to get rid of evil spirits, and Li Yan wants to sweat out." Some people question these two different approaches. Hua Tuo replied: "Ni Xun is a disease of external fixation, while Li Yan is a disease of internal fixation, so we should treat it in different ways." Give them medicine separately at once and wait for them to get up together the next morning.

One day, Hua Tuo was walking on the road and saw a man with a blocked throat. He wants to eat, but he can't swallow it. His family forced him to seek medical treatment. Hearing the patient's groans, Hua Tuo stopped to see the doctor and told them, "There was a cake seller on the roadside where I came just now, with garlic and vinegar. You buy three liters from the shopkeeper to eat, and your illness will naturally recover. " They did as Hua Tuo said at once. After the patient ate it, he spit out a snake-shaped bug. They hung the bugs by the car and went to Hua Tuo's house to thank humbly. Before Hua Tuo went home, his two children were playing at the door and saw them head on. The children told each other, "It's like meeting our father, and the' patient number' hanging next to the car is proof." The patient came into the room and sat down. He saw about 12 specimens of this parasite hanging on the north wall of Huatuo's house.

Chen Deng, the magistrate of Guangling County, was ill. He was upset and depressed, his face was red, and he didn't want to eat. Hua tuo felt his pulse and said, "There are several liters of worms in your stomach, which will form a poisonous sore in your abdomen, which is caused by eating raw fish and meat." I immediately made two liters of medicinal soup, drank one liter first, and then drank all the medicine. After dinner, Chen Deng spits out about three liters of worms, and the reddish head of the worms will move, and half of the body is still raw fish, and the pain will be fine. Hua Tuo said: "The disease should recur after three years, and it can only be saved if you meet a good doctor." According to the expected time, the old disease recurred. Hua tuo was not there at that time. As Hua Tuo predicted, Chen Deng finally died.

Cao Cao heard that Hua Tuo was good at treating diseases, so he called him and stayed with him. Cao Cao's brain aches. Whenever he has an attack, he is mentally disturbed and his eyes are dim. As long as Hua Tuo pricked Shu Ge's acupoints, he should treat them with his hands. ……

Most of Hua Tuo's excellent medical skills are as mentioned above. But he was originally a scholar, but he was regarded as a medical profession, and he often felt remorse in his heart. Later, Cao Cao personally handled state affairs, and his condition became more serious, so he asked Hua Tuo to treat him personally. Hua Tuo said: "This disease is almost difficult to cure, and continuous treatment can prolong some lives." Huatuo has been away from his hometown for a long time, and he wants to go back and have a look. He said to Cao Cao, "I just received a letter from home, and I just want to go home and stay for a while." When I got home, I used my wife's illness as an excuse to make excuses, repeatedly asked for an extension of my holiday and refused to come back. Cao Cao called him several times by letter and ordered the county to send someone to send Hua Tuo back. Hua tuo thinks he is talented and hates serving people, but he still doesn't go on the road. Cao Cao was very angry and sent someone to check: if his wife was really ill, he would give 40 welcome beans to let him have a holiday and relax; If he cheats, arrest him and bring him back. As a result, Hua Tuo was exiled to Xuchang prison and tortured to confess guilt. Yu Xun pleaded with Cao Cao and said, "Hua Tuo's medical skill is really brilliant, which is related to the safety of people's lives and should be forgiven." Cao Cao said, "Don't worry, there won't be such an incompetent mouse?" Hua tuo was finally sentenced to death. Before he died, Hua Tuo took out a medical book and gave it to the jailer, saying, "This book can cure diseases and save lives." The jailer is afraid of breaking the law and dare not accept it. Hua tuo did not force, begging for fire to burn books. After Hua Tuo's death, Cao Cao's brain pain still hasn't improved. Cao Cao said, "Hua Tuo could have cured this disease. This boy deliberately kept my root cause and wanted to raise his position. In this case, if I don't kill him, he won't cut my roots in the end. " It was not until later that Cang Shu, his beloved son, was critically ill that Cao Cao sighed: "I really regret killing Hua Tuo and let this son die of fatigue."

Fan A of Guangling and Pengcheng studied medicine with Hua Tuo. Upp followed Hua Tuo's medical skills, and many people were cured and saved. Hua Tuo said to Upp: "The human body should exercise, but not excessively. Shui Gu's qi can only be digested after exercise, and the blood circulation is smooth, so the disease will not happen. For example, the revolving door shaft will not rot. Therefore, people who used to cultivate immortals and monasteries often did exercises like "Qigong". They imitate a bear climbing a branch and an owl turning its neck and looking around, stretching its waist and moving its joints to prolong its life. I have an exercise method called "Five Birds Play". One is called Tiger Play, the other is called Deer Play, the third is called Bear Play, the fourth is called Ape Play, and the fifth is called Bird Play. It can also be used to prevent diseases and treat diseases, and at the same time, it can make legs and feet light and be used as "Qigong". When you feel uncomfortable, you get up and do one of the scenes. Sweating, soaking clothes, and then applying talcum powder, the body feels relaxed and convenient, and I want to eat in my stomach. " Upp exercised in this way, and by the time he was in his nineties, his hearing and eyesight were good, and his teeth were intact and strong. Fan A is proficient in acupuncture therapy. All doctors say that the needle should not be inserted between the internal organs of the back and chest. Even if the needle is inserted, the depth should not exceed four minutes. Fan A's needle, however, is inserted one or two inches deep in the acupuncture point on the back and five or six inches in the Juque point on the chest, and the disease is often cured. Fan A asked Hua Tuo for a prescription that can be taken and beneficial to human body, and Hua Tuo taught him "Ye Qiqing Sticking Powder". The prescription uses 1 liter of lacquer leaf crumbs and 14 liang of green sticky crumbs, which are prepared according to this ratio. It is said that taking this medicine for a long time can kill three kinds of parasites, benefit the five internal organs, make the body light and keep people's hair from turning white. Fan A did as he said and lived to be over one hundred years old. Lacquer leaves are everywhere, and it is said that green sticky lacquer grows in Feng, Pei, Pengcheng and other counties.
