Sanjiu Tianjiu Therapy

As winter approaches, Sanjiu Tianjiu Therapy (三九天灸) has become a popular choice for many Chinese families seeking preventive and restorative healthcare. This traditional Chinese medicine (TCM, 中医) therapy, also known as “Herb-Treated Acupoint Therapy during the Sanjiu Winter Period”, is administered during the coldest period of the year, the “Sanjiu Days” (三九天), which occur after the Winter Solstice. By applying warming Yang-enhancing herbal plasters (辛温助阳药物) to specific acupuncture points (穴位), it strengthens Yang energy (阳气), promotes blood circulation (促进血液循环), and enhances the body’s constitution to prevent illnesses.

The therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals with cold constitutions (体质虚寒), chronic conditions, or those prone to recurrent illnesses.

Vancouver painfreee Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine Clinic & Dr.TCM Vincent Wang clinic is now accepting reservations for the 2024/2025 Sanjiu Tianjiu Therapy sessions. Plan ahead to benefit from this effective traditional therapy.
