Dear Ms.
Vicky,
I apologize, but our hospital currently does not offer this treatment.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine department at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital provides Sanfu plaster, which you can visit nearby.
Additionally, many general TCM clinics also offer this service, so you may inquire at your convenience.
Wishing you peace and health,
