Why Treat During the Hottest Days?
The reason why we have San Fu Tie treatment during the hottest days of the year is because the Yang energy in our bodies is the most vigorous within this period. It is the prime time and most ideal opportunity to address our bodies' internal issues while the blood and Qi energies are unobstructed. Medicinal effects of the herbs in the sticker patches are to permeate through acupuncture points, simultaneously healing and preventing diseases for the coming Winter.
