This combined treatment supports the body’s respiratory, immune, and digestive systems by using acupuncture to balance the internal energy flow, followed by applying a Sân Fu Tie herbal patch to gently warm the meridians and enhance therapeutic effects. The patch stimulates circulation, reduces cold-related symptoms, and strengthens the body’s natural defenses. Patients may feel mild warmth on the skin, which is part of the intended therapeutic action. This treatment is especially helpful for chronic respiratory conditions, seasonal allergies, fatigue, and conditions aggravated by cold or dampness.

This acupuncture workshop offers a practical introduction to how acupuncture works and how it may support pain relief, stress reduction, nervous system regulation, and overall wellness. The session will include an overview of Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, common conditions treated with acupuncture, treatment expectations, safety considerations, and self-care tips. This is an educational workshop, not a private treatment appointment. Advance booking is required.

During your second visit, we will review the findings from your initial assessment and discuss how they may relate to your symptoms and overall health. We will explain your individualized treatment approach, including the recommended treatment frequency and expected course of care. An acupuncture treatment based on your assessment findings will also be provided during this appointment.
