Doctors practice sanfutie treatment for citizens across China

Doctors practice sanfutie treatment for a citizen in Yuqing County, southwest China's Guizhou 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.
