“Traditional Chinese medicine has a proverb for “treating summer diseases in the winter time”. The purpose is to prevent common summertime ailments by treating it in the winter. The treatment period for this year falls between Dec 22, 2022 and March 13, 2022 for a total of 81 days. In terms of treatment protocol, acupuncture is performed on special points and a distinct ointment is applied. Traditionally, a herbal ointment would be applied to the skin and Moxi-bustion would be performed on top of it.
However, we have varying skin types here in North America and some may burn with the intensity of the traditional herbal concentrate. Therefore, I have modified the herbal ointment to ensure a milder herbal patch. I have replaced the Moxi-bustion with the infrared light I brought to stimulate these points. Ear acupuncture (Auriculotherapy) can also be added to further enhance treatment outcomes with this type of therapy. So when we reach summertime, the yin and yang are harmonized, and symptoms have decreased or even disappeared completely. Here are some illnesses that I’ve seen greatly benefit from this treatment: respiratory disorders such as allergies, chronic bronchitis, GI disorders such as GERD, hormonal disorders like dysmenorrhea and irregular periods, joint pain and insomnia."
Please note that there are no additional charges for the Tian Moxa Patch treatment. It can be added to an existing acupuncture booking.

The winter solstice timing makes so much sense for this—I always forget that seasonal prevention is a whole strategy. I've been looking for a way to try this at home without daily clinic visits, so I'm curious how the patch compares to the traditional ointment. Check out https://wanxaivideo.com

The 81-day window between winter solstice and early spring really highlights how TCM plans ahead for seasonal imbalances—curious if the moxa patch targets the same acupoints as the traditional ointment. I’ve been tracking similar protocols with https://crayo-ai.net
The winter solstice timing makes so much sense for this—I’ve always wondered how the 81-day window aligns with the coldest qi. I’ve been using a similar approach for my own seasonal allergies, and this patch sounds like a perfect fit. Check out https://yeggi.pro
