WAH TOH: GOD OF MEDICINE


I am posing next to a statue of Master Wah Toh. Wah Toh is the name of a famous and foremost expert of Chinese medicine, bone-setting and acupuncture of China during the years of 200 B.C. of the Han Dynasty ruling period.Master Wah Toh was appointed as head personal physician to a military warlord named Cho Chou, whose claim to fame was his unbeatable combative prowess and excellent form in the battlefield. Cho Chou was also well-known as the arch nemesis to another famed contemporary warlord of the time, Kuan Kung (who has since been beatified as a God of War deity in the Chinese pantheon).Master Wah Toh's expertise in healing his lord Cho Chou gained him instant fame throughout the vast lands of China. His skills in the manipulation of the limbs are now legendary, as are his methods of bone-setting and acupuncture.His unsurpassed wisdom and knowledge of the body structure has since then brought him immortality - today, Master Wah Toh is continually revered as one of the founding fathers of Chinese medicine. Master Wah Toh is also thought to be the creator of Tit Tar.
