During the late Eastern Han dynasty, a brilliant Chinese physician named Hua Tuo—renowned for his pioneering medical techniques, surgical skill, and knowledge of herbal medicine—is said to have perfected a powerful form of anaesthesia centuries before similar developments in the West. Known as mafeisan, this herbal concoction was made entirely from plant extracts and was so potent that it could render a patient unconscious for more than 24 hours—long enough for Hua Tuo to perform highly invasive surgical procedures, such as the removal of diseased intestines.
