In this article, I want to share with you the experience of traditional Chinese medicine in treating rheumatoid diseases.

At the same time, her right shoulder is sour, and she keeps hammering with her left hand every day. The movement of the right arm and neck is obviously limited.

At the time of diagnosis, the patient's pulse was heavy and thin, the tongue coating was white, the middle part was greasy, the body was emaciated, the facial color was poor, and his face was pale. At this time, the doctor prescribed a prescription for oral administration. Let's see:

Radix Astragali, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Notopterygii Rhizoma, Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Cortex Erythrinae, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Curcuma Rhizome, Radix Clematidis, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Lumbricus, Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga, Radix Glycyrrhizae and Coicis Semen. Decoct with water. Take it every morning and evening.

There is also a prescription for external washing.

As a result, the patient's pain has been greatly improved after five doses. After drinking 25 doses of medicine, the symptoms are all flat. At this time, I went to check again and found that rheumatoid factor turned negative.

Now let me explain it to you.

In life, I wonder if you have ever seen such an old lady:

My body is very thin. After doing housework all my life, my fingers often hurt, swell and even deform. My fingers are stiff in the morning and it takes a long time to recover. At the same time, other parts of the body may also feel pain and acid, and the physical activity ability is getting worse and worse. Pale complexion, general appetite, pale tongue, heavy and thin pulse, white and slightly greasy tongue coating. Such people get tired easily.

Think about it, are many housewives over the age of 60 prone to this phenomenon? The patient in the above medical record obviously belongs to this category.

First, you are qi-deficient.

According to the medical records, you are emaciated, weak, pale tongue, white greasy fur, heavy and thin pulse, general fatigue and pale face. You are not qi deficiency, but what is it?

Second, there are evils of wind, cold and dampness in your bones and muscles.

My knuckles are swollen, painful and stiff in the morning. I do housework, wash clothes and cook all the year round. Of course, you have cold and dampness.

Note that there is a connection between the two. Qi deficiency, the body lacks energy other than defense, so it is easy to feel cold and wet. The stagnation of cold and dampness will hurt your righteousness step by step.

How to achieve this goal? Let's look at the compatibility of doctors at that time:

Here, what is invigorating qi and strengthening the body? Astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala, of course. The reuse of astragalus greatly supplements the qi of spleen and lung. Atractylodes macrocephala strengthens the spleen, eliminates dampness and benefits qi. They are jointly responsible for consolidating justice. Of course, invigorating qi needs nourishing blood. So angelica and white peony nourish blood and promote blood circulation. Coix seed can help strengthen the spleen, induce diuresis and reduce swelling, and improve the swelling of patients' fingers.

Besides, what are exorcists used for? Of course, cassia twig, notopterygium root, pubescent angelica root, erythrinus bark, turmeric and clematis root. These drugs, which have the functions of warming meridians and dredging veins, expelling wind and removing dampness, dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, are commonly used drugs for treating rheumatism and rheumatoid diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. On this basis, earthworm is added to dredge meridians, and Eupolyphaga Seu Steleophaga is added to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Only in this way can the pathogenic wind, cold and dampness in the bones and muscles be uprooted.

Many people ask me where the cause is and from what aspects, mainly from four aspects.

(1) Feel pathogenic wind, cold and dampness

Living in wetlands for a long time, suffering from cold and frostbite, sleeping in the cold and sleeping in the wind and wading-invasion of pathogenic wind, cold and dampness, and obstruction of qi and blood circulation.

(2) Feel the evil of rheumatic fever

Staying in damp heat for a long time-exogenous pathogenic wind, heat and dampness-qi, blood and meridians are blocked

(3) improper diet and drugs

Improper diet medication-spleen and stomach damage, endogenous damp-heat and phlegm turbidity, meridian qi and blood obstruction.

(4) Old people with falls and long-term illness

Injuries caused by falls-the tendons and veins of limbs are damaged, the qi and blood flow is not smooth, and the meridians and blood are blocked.

Long-term illness of the elderly-deficiency of both qi and blood, deficiency of liver and kidney-malnutrition of limbs, bones and joints

1. Obstruction: manifested as pain in limbs and joints. Treatment: expelling wind and dredging collaterals, dispelling cold and removing dampness.

2. Pain and joint pain: manifested as local severe pain, heat is reduced, and cold is aggravated. Treatment: dispelling cold, expelling wind and removing dampness.

3. Joint pain: severe joint pain, fixed pain, dull skin sensation and unfavorable flexion and extension. Treatment: eliminating dampness and dredging collaterals, expelling wind and dispelling cold.

4. Joint pain: joint pain, burning pain, redness and swelling, and comfortable when it is cold. Treatment: dredging collaterals, expelling wind and removing dampness.

Experience is just experience, examples are just examples, and they are always dead. Both the patient and the illness are still alive. We must treat it according to syndrome differentiation and not blindly apply it. What I said above is not everything, just for you to understand, learn and experience.
