Sanjiu raises a winter, and there will be no illness in the coming year. Starting from the winter solstice solar term (December 22), the next 27 days are the traditional "39 days" in our country, and it is also the coldest day of the year.
The ancients said: Count nine in cold winter. At present, it has entered the 39 days when the temperature is the lowest in the year, the yang energy in the human body is the weakest, and the yin energy in the body is the strongest. This period is a period of high incidence of deficiency and cold diseases, but it is also a good time to regulate the body.

Everyone's physique is different, so the ointment should be taken by one person and not taken indiscriminately. Generally speaking, taking the ointment prescription from "19" to "99", the first time you take the ointment, you should start with a small dose, gradually increase the amount, once in the morning and once in the evening, take 15 20g, drink it on an empty stomach after dissolving it in boiling water, and take it for 2 to 3 months before it has an effect.
