How to use Sanfutie. How to use, precautions

If you want to achieve the ideal effect of “treating winter diseases in summer”, it is very important to choose the right time for treatment. The dog days are the hottest time of the year. At the same time, the human body is in a state of peak yang energy, smooth blood flow, and loose skin. During this period, acupoint therapy is used to prevent the occurrence of winter diseases. Applying ointments made from pungent, warm and dispersing drugs to acupuncture points can maximize the effects of warming the yang and replenishing qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dredge meridians and activate collaterals, and relieve pain. It can play a good preventive role for winter diseases.

Generally speaking, the "dog days" start after the "lesser heat" of the twenty-four solar terms, spanning the three solar terms of "lesser heat", "greater heat" and "beginning of autumn", and are divided into the beginning, middle and end of the dog days, for a total of 30 days, and in some years for 40 days. To adapt to the weather, the plaster treatment is scheduled on the first day of the first, middle and last dog days. When encountering the "dog days" which lasts for 40 days, in order to ensure the continuity of the treatment and make the interval between each plaster application the same, one plaster application is usually added, which is called "enhanced moxibustion".

Respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma are in the attack stage; pneumonia and various infectious diseases are in the acute fever stage; those who are extremely sensitive to patch drugs, have special constitutions and skin diseases such as contact dermatitis; those with local skin ulcers at the applied acupoints; pregnant women; patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases; many Chinese medicines in the winter disease summer treatment ointment are hot in nature, so they are not suitable for people with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire; those with cough and diarrhea should not rush to do patch treatment. What preparations should be made before applying the patch? Patients who are applying the patch for the first time should adjust their mindset in advance and at least have confidence in the patch therapy.
