Brand Story
Hua Tuo (c. 145–208 AD), courtesy name Yuanhua, was born in Qiao County, Pei State (modern Bozhou, Anhui). A master of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, and pediatrics, he is celebrated as the 'father of surgery' for pioneering anesthetic use with Mafeisan. His travels across Anhui, Henan, and Jiangsu earned him deep respect for his skill and ethics. He created Wuqinxi (Five-Animal Exercises), imitating tiger, deer, bear, monkey, and bird movements—a cornerstone of daoyin (guided exercise) still practiced today, reflecting TCM's preventive wisdom. Though executed by Cao Cao, his legacy endured through disciples. The Hua Tuo brand honors his spirit, yet its exact founding date and corporate lineage remain unverified.
