Sanfutie therapy is a popular counter-season TCM treatment, which involves putting plasters made with traditional Chinese herbal medicine on various acupuncture points on the body in summer. The method is based on the concept of treating cold-weather-related illnesses, such as arthritis and asthma, during summer. "Sanfu" (三伏) is the hottest period on the Chinese calendar, and "tie" (贴) means paste. [Photo/China Plus]
