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.
