Disease description:

Recently, I've heard many people talking about applying the "Sanfu贴" (three伏 patches). I'd like to ask the doctor, how many patches are applied in total for the Sanfu贴 treatment?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Generally, Sanfu patches are applied 30 times in total, with each patch measuring 7 cm × 10 cm. Sanfu patch therapy is a traditional Chinese medical treatment that can improve blood circulation, reduce physical fatigue, strengthen constitution and immunity, promote metabolism, relieve pain, improve sleep, and alleviate symptoms of depression. As a relatively ancient therapeutic method, Sanfu patches can effectively enhance the body's immune function, reduce pain, improve sleep quality, and relieve depressive symptoms. The treatment method is simple: just apply the Sanfu patch to the corresponding area of the body. After a certain period, the patch will naturally fall off, and its therapeutic effect will be better.
