San Fu Jiu (Summer moxibustion / Dog days Plaster)

Treating Allergies or Asthma With San Fu Jiu during the dog days of Summer More than 50 million Americans suffer from some sort of allergy according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Allergies are the sixth leading chronic disease, costing the U.S. health care system more than $7 billion annually. And Asthma is one of the top five chronic diseases in the United States and costs the healthcare industry an estimated $56 billion annually. The most common allergens enter through the airways, and about 80% of asthmatics in the have underlying allergies. A study from National Yang Ming University in Taipei published in the 2007 June issue of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, suggests application of Chinese herbs can treat allergies, using a method known as Sanfujui.

Sanfujui  is a method of herb treatment whereby an herbal medicine paste is applied on acupoints during the three hottest days of the summer. This theory is inkeeping with the Nei Jing’s philosophy of “preservation of yang during the spring and summer seasons”. The optimum period for this treatment is during the summer solstice with the ensuing 30 days known as “Chu Fu”, “Zhong Fu and “Mo Fu” and the same process will be repeated during the coldest month in the winter. The full treatment course is three consecutive years with the treatment duration of three times in the summer over a period of thirty days and three times in the winter following the same principle as the summer treatment. According theory of Sanfujiu, those three days have the highest amount of yang qi, so treatment at that time will enhance the herbs' efficacy and strengthens lung qi and body general yang qi.
