Hua Tuo was born in the late Eastern Han dynasty. He was a great physician who knew ways of preserving health. He had the looks of a young man despite his age and was regarded by the people at that time as a deity. His divine healing skills are recorded in “Records of the Three Kingdoms, Biography of Hua Tuo.”
The ruler Cao Cao was plagued by chronic headaches for many years. Knowing Hua Tuo was a divine physician, he often summoned Hua Tuo to his palace to treat him. Every time Hua Tuo administered acupuncture on him, the effect was instantaneous.
