  • San Fu
    Who you calling Fu? This episode covers the concept of "San Fu Tie," a classic treatment in Chinese medicine that corresponds to three distinct periods between mid-July and mid-August. We discuss the significance of the timing of this treatment and how it aligns with the natural rhythms of the body and the environment. By doing so, the practitioner can use the least force to achieve maximum efficacy.  We also explore how using these external herbal treatments to disperse cold during the summer can treat diseases that are exacerbated in the winter, like asthma. By following the natural flow of energy and adapting treatments accordingly, Chinese medicine practitioners can optimize the body's healing process while minimizing the use of aggressive techniques.  We also share the classic herbal formula from Ming dynasty Dr. Zhang Lu 张璐!And of course, for you classics nerds out there, one of the key Nei Jing quotes we cover in this episode:“春夏养阳,秋冬养阴,以从其根” from 素问·四气调神大论
