What is San Fu Moxa? We make San Fu Moxa by mixing a special blend of energetically hot and spicy Chinese herbs with organic ginger juice and applying it to the skin to stimulate specific acupoints.⠀
⠀
This mix smells really spicy and acrid and the clinic is filled with the scent of herbs on San fu Moxa days! ⠀
⠀
☀What are San fu Moxa days? ⠀
⠀
To capture some of the strongest YANG energy, San Fu Moxa is placed on specific acupoints with a plaster and left on for several hours or more. These are placed on points on the hottest most YANG days of the year (predicted according to the Chinese Lunar calendar) to harness some of that Yang energy and store it for later during the next seasons of fall and winter.⠀
⠀
San fu are Days when Yang qi can be pressed and stored in the earth below anything.⠀
⠀
The treatment plan is once every 10 days, for an ideal total of 3 treatments. ⠀
⠀
This is preventative medicine.⠀
⠀
The main herbs in our San fu mix come to us ground into a fine powder from who strictly sources and vets their suppliers and herbs to ensure there are no chemicals or heavy metals and proper identification of the herb. One of my most favorite suppliers! We also use pressed ginger juice from because we only use the freshest, best ginger juice for our San Fu blend! ⠀
⠀
Schedule your San fu Moxa treatment online or call the office to schedule! 7/20- 8/12 (ish ... call us and we're happy to get you in! 😉). While traditionally there are 3 or 4 specific days (dependent on the calendar year), we're keeping things more flexible because we know scheduling self care can be hard!
