Can moxibustion be used when applying Sanfu patches?

Dr. He Haochen
Moxibustion can be performed simultaneously with the application of Sanfu patches. Both Sanfu patches and moxibustion are traditional Chinese medical therapies that help warm the body, dispel cold, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and enhance immunity. Undergoing these two treatments during the Sanfu period can complement and reinforce each other, helping to improve constitution and prevent or treat various diseases. However, it is important to note that both methods should be administered under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.
