Tired of recurring colds, allergies, or joint pain? Discover the once-a-year tradition that prepares your body before the symptoms occur!
About this Event

Every winter, many people find themselves dealing with recurring colds, seasonal allergies, joint discomfort, or low energy. They start treating the symptoms only when they experience it.


But what if one of the best times to prepare for winter... is actually during the hottest days of summer?


Join Smart Health TCM for an interactive workshop introducing San Fu patches/moxibustion, a seasonal wellness tradition that’s over 2,000 years old available only during the hottest days of summer. Discover why practitioners have used this once-a-year opportunity for centuries to help support the body's natural resilience before winter arrives.


San Fu has traditionally been used to support people who experience:

  • Seasonal allergies
  • Frequent colds or recurring respiratory concerns
  • Low energy or fatigue
  • Joint and muscle pain (neck, shoulders, back, knees)
  • Arthritis and joint stiffness
  • Cold hands and feet
  • Asthma and other respiratory concerns
  • Chronic cough or lingering respiratory symptoms
  • Digestive discomfort
  • Menstrual discomfort
  • An interest in preventive wellness and healthy aging


San Fu is most effective in treating these symptoms during the following periods:

  • First Fu: July 15 – July 24
  • Second Fu: July 25 – August 13
  • Third Fu: August 14 – August 23

Don’t miss these times!

  • 🌿 Discover why San Fu is performed only during a few special days each summer and its fascinating history
