San Fu Tie 2026 in Grenoble: the summer of the Fire Horse and steel-like immunity

2026 is a special year: that of the Fire Horse, with a Yang Qi at its peak. For traditional Chinese medicine, it is an exceptional year for San Fu Tie — the preventive summer treatment that drives out the deepest Cold.

Why San Fu Tie 2026? The view of Chinese medicine

San Fu Tie consists of applying warming substances to points on the back during the three hottest periods of summer, when the Yang of the body and of nature reaches its peak. In 2026, this power is heightened: it is the ideal moment to correct chronic deficiencies and to prepare winter immunity. The practitioner becomes the conductor of a therapeutic great Fire adapted to each constitution.

The combined approach of sophrology and Chinese medicine in Grenoble

Traditional Chinese medicine and sophrology complement each other: the former acts on the body's energetic balance, the latter on the nervous system and stress management. Combining the two makes it possible to treat the terrain — the one that maintains the symptom — and the emotional state that accompanies it. In Grenoble, at the Centre Équilibre, this combined approach is built session after session, according to your profile.
