Sanfu plaster, also known as Tianjiu, is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy that originated in the Qing Dynasty. Combining acupuncture, meridians, and traditional Chinese medicine, it involves applying herbal medicine directly to acupoints, generating localized chemical and thermal stimulation to achieve the effects of treatment and disease prevention.
Enhancing immune function
Sanfu plaster can dredge the meridians, regulate qi and blood, widen the chest and descend qi, invigorate the spleen and stomach, inspire yang qi, and regulate the lung and spleen functions of the body. This continuously enhances the body's immune function, thereby achieving the effects of invigorating yang qi, promoting blood circulation, dispelling cold pathogenic factors, and improving the body's external defense function.
Acupoint effects
By stimulating acupoints on the body surface through plaster therapy, the conduction and adjustment of meridians can correct the imbalance of yin and yang in the organs, improve the circulation of qi and blood in the meridians, and produce a good and gentle therapeutic and regulatory effect on the physiological functions and pathological states of the five zang organs and six fu organs. This achieves the goals of consolidating the exterior, supporting the defense system, promoting the communication between meridians and organs, expelling pathogenic factors through acupoints, and strengthening the body.
Pharmacological effects
By directly applying drugs to acupoints on the body surface, the medicinal properties penetrate through the hair follicles and pores, reaching the subcutaneous tissues. On one hand, this creates a relatively high drug concentration locally; on the other hand, it can reach the affected areas of organ imbalance and meridian qi imbalance through the conduction and circulation of meridians, exerting the maximum systemic pharmacological effect of the medicine.
Comprehensive effects
Plaster therapy is an organic combination of traditional acupuncture therapy and drug therapy. It is essentially a compound treatment method that integrates meridians, acupoints, and drugs. It not only has the stimulating effect of drugs on acupoints, but also the effects of the drugs themselves. The various treatment factors interact, complement each other, and jointly exert a holistic effect.
