Starting from a skull

In your impression, is traditional Chinese medicine good at surgery? It seems that Chinese medicine should be decoction and acupuncture and moxibustion, which are not good at surgery, but in factTraditional Chinese medicine also has its own tradition of surgical procedures.

Dawenkou culture Site, Fujiapo, Guangrao, ShandongA skull like this was once unearthed in a tomb of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Archaeologists and medical experts such as Mr. Han Kangxin from the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences used CT, X-ray, and other techniques to test it, and finally came to the conclusion that this is aPrehistoric Craniotomy.

I once wrote a paperThe Suspected Hua Tuo,.,.

Some online people question and believe that ancient Chinese people did not know how to perform surgical procedures. One logic is that ancient people did not understand human anatomy. Things as complex as skulls are so rich in nerves and blood vessels, and they do not understand human anatomy. How dare they perform this surgical procedure?

Why did surgery gradually fade out of the historical stage in traditional Chinese medicine later on, because we have become more and more familiar with the structure of the human body,.,.

However, the traditional Chinese medicine surgery we are talking about today is different from what we just mentioned. It is an external technology that is absorbed and developed by us locally, which is what I am going to talk about todayNeedle extraction cataract.

The technology of needle extraction for cataracts was born in India,,,,,,,,.
