San Fu Moxibustion 2025

East Asian medicine is deeply aligned with the energetic rhythms of nature. During the "dog days of summer" there are three periods of time when yang energy is at its height---these three periods are called the San Fu. Yang energy is about protection, strength, impenetrability. These are all aspects we want out of our immune system, come cold and flu season.

For thousands of years people have gotten immune-focused moxibustion treatments during these three fu when yang and heat are high. These moxa treatments tonify the immune system, and build us up to ward off sickness during the coldest times of the coming year.

Anyone can get San Fu treatments, but it would be especially helpful for people who are concerned about respiratory illness, who struggle with asthma or allergies, who have digestive concerns or chronic fatigue, or for people who work with children/in healthcare.

While these treatments are most effective if you get one treatment per fu---three per summer---even just getting a little bit of that yang energy is better than nothing! So, take a look at the dates below and sign up here.

Treatments dates for each fu:

First Fu (初伏 / Chu Fu) – Thurs July 17, 2025; Fri July 25th

Middle Fu (中伏 / Zhong Fu) – Thurs July 31th; Fri August 8th

Last Fu (末伏 / Mo Fu) – Thurs Aug 21st; Fri Aug 29th
