The application sites for children receiving Sanfu Patch therapy should be selected according to the child's specific constitution and condition. Generally, acupoints such as Zusanli (ST36), Weishu (BL21), Tianshu (ST25), Shenshu (BL23), and Feishu (BL13) may be used. For example, for indigestion, apply patches to Zusanli, Weishu, and Tianshu; for frequent coughing or susceptibility to colds, use Dingchuan, Feishu, and Bailao points; for low immunity and allergies, apply to Shenshu, Feishu, and Zusanli. However, please ensure that treatment is performed under the guidance of a physician to guarantee correct and effective placement of the patches.
