Do I still need to apply the Sanjiu patch if I've already applied the Sanyin patch?

It is still recommended to apply the "Sanjiu Paste" after using the "Sanfu Paste," as these two treatments are complementary therapies in traditional Chinese medicine based on the principle of "treating winter diseases in summer and nurturing summer ailments in winter." When used together, they provide continuous regulation, helping to consolidate and enhance therapeutic effects. If severe skin allergies or discomfort occur after application, medical attention should be sought promptly.

The Sanfu Paste focuses on dispelling internal cold and dampness during summer when yang energy is strongest, laying a solid foundation for health in autumn and winter. In contrast, the Sanjiu Paste works during the coldest period of winter, when yin energy peaks and cold-dampness tends to accumulate, warming the body, expelling cold, and further strengthening the body's vital energy. It complements the limitations of the Sanfu Paste treatment. Together, they synergistically enhance the prevention and management of chronic, deficiency-cold-type conditions.

After application, keep the treated skin area clean and dry, avoid scratching, refrain from consuming spicy, raw, cold, or greasy foods, and pay attention to staying warm and avoiding exposure to cold. The duration of application must strictly follow medical instructions—do not extend or shorten it arbitrarily—to ensure both therapeutic effectiveness and skin safety.
