Sanfu Patch Herbal Moxa Warming Body Patch for Seasonal TCM Care

Sanfu Patch, known in TCM as San Fu Tie (三伏贴), is a topical herbal patch combining ginger, moxa, and honey-based warming ingredients. Traditionally applied during the hottest summer days and the coldest winter days, it is associated with warming the channels, dispersing cold, and supporting the body's seasonal balance. The patch is placed externally on general body areas and is intended for short-term warming and wellness support, not for treating disease.
