Doctors practice sanfutie treatment for citizens across China

Doctors practice sanfutie treatment for citizens in Yiyuan County, east China's Shandong Province, July 17, 2018. Tuesday marks the beginning of sanfu, which refers to the three 10-day periods that are predicted to be the hottest days of the year. Sanfutie is a typical counter-season TCM treatment, which treats cold-weather-related illnesses in hot summer with a bandage made of traditional Chinese herbal medicine placed on various acupuncture points on the body.
