Evaluation of later generations

Hua Tuo is one of the few outstanding surgeons in the medical history of China. He is good at using anesthesia, acupuncture, moxibustion and other methods, and is good at thoracotomy. The method of surgical operation is not the mainstream treatment of traditional Chinese medicine based on the culture of "respecting Confucianism". Under the Confucian idea of "the body grows and the parents receive it", surgical operation has not developed on a large scale in traditional Chinese medicine.

Some medical historians have verified that the treatment methods used by Hua Tuo are recorded in Indian medicine, and the main drug "Datura flower" in Mafei powder he used is also produced in India, so they suggest that Hua Tuo has traveled all over the Central Plains all his life, and he is probably a Tianzhu doctor from India. This statement has certain reference value.
