Receive the Sanfutie

[原文来自：www.11jj.com]

贴三伏贴

Sanfutie, or Sanfu medicinal patch, is a bandage made of traditional Chinese herbal medicine. Practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) believe that receiving Sanfutie during the hottest summer days is effective for coughs, asthma and arthritis; it is a patchwork solution for winter ills in summer.

三伏贴是一种由中药制成的药贴。中医认为，在夏季最热的时日贴三伏贴有助于治疗咳嗽、哮喘、关节炎；这是一种冬病夏治法。

The treatment is based on the TCM principle of yin and yang, which believes the balance of both elements in the body is vital for good health. Sanfutie contains a paste of herbs that are "hot" in nature, and when applied to specific acupuncture points, usually on the back and neck, they replenish the yang elements.

该疗法基于中医的阴阳理论，认为体内阴阳平衡对健康至关重要。三伏贴含有“温性”草药膏，敷于特定穴位，通常用于背部和颈部，能够补充阳气。

These patches have been used in TCM since earliest recorded times, according to Huangdi Neijing, more than 2,000 years ago. Sanfu patch treatment became extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and has enjoyed a revival in recent years as more patients turn to TCM treatment.
