What is “San Fu Tie”?

In recent years, it is very popular in China to apply a Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture protocol called “San Fu Tie” to cure winter diseases in summer. San Fu Tie is a procedure in traditional Chinese medicine in which medicated patches are placed on various acupuncture points on the body.

Basically, you get three treatments over the course of one summer, over three consecutive summers, which, over time, can significantly reduce the severity of symptoms, and possibly even cure any regular health problems that you have during the winter months.
