Speaking of treatment, some people say that we can see a doctor directly when we are sick, so why know how to treat it. However, in view of the fact that some rheumatoid arthritis patients and their families are obsessed with home remedies, the treatment is not only ineffective but also often delays the disease, and the disadvantages are needless to say. So we have to popularize the correct way to open up the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
The treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in modern medicine can be roughly divided into the following categories: drug treatment and surgical treatment. Drug therapy has anti-inflammatory and analgesic, such as ibuprofen, loxoprofen sodium, etc.; these are often taken during the active period of the disease, when the joint pain is obvious; the other is anti-rheumatic drugs, such as methotrexate and leflunomide, commonly used in rheumatoid arthritis; it is used to treat the disease itself. In addition to drug treatment, in Western medicine, surgical treatment is only used when the patient has a serious joint deformity, which seriously affects the function of joint mobility.
In traditional Chinese medicine, rheumatoid arthritis belongs to the category of "paralysis", and the Yellow Emperor Neiyun "wind and cold and wet three qi are mixed, combined into paralysis", according to the different weights of these three diseases and evils in Chinese medicine, it is divided into paralysis, pain paralysis, and paralysis.
Chinese medicine says that "the wind is active, and the number of good deeds changes,", so the wind and evil invade the body, and the joint pain that is mainly manifested is that the string is uncertain, and the pain is indefinite, also called paralysis. Treatment is mainly based on anti-rheumatism and dehumidification, and pain relief drugs.
Cold condensation, cold evil invading the human body can make the qi, blood and liquid run slowly, and the condensation block is not passed. Because the blood and jin liquid "get warm to do, cold is condensed", and "if it doesn't work, it hurts", so the cold evil invading the human body can cause the body to appear various painful symptoms. The characteristic of the pain caused by the cold evil is that when the cold is aggravated, the temperature is reduced. Therefore, the joint pain dominated by cold evil is fixed and intense; it is called pain paralysis. The treatment is mainly based on the drugs of warm passage and cold dissipation and dampness.
Wet and heavy turbidity, the "heavy" here, that is, heavy or heavy meaning, refers to the feeling of wet evil, often can see the head weight such as wrapping, the body is trapped, the limbs are sore and heavy and heavy and other symptoms. If the wet evil remains in the meridian joints, the Yang Qi transfusion is blocked, so the skin is not kind, the joint pain is heavy, etc., also known as "wet paralysis" or "paralysis". In addition, wet evil is easy to entrain other evils, cold is cold and wet, hot is hot and humid, cold and wet can also be converted into damp heat, treatment is mainly used to clear heat dehumidification, or warm and humid method.
In addition to wind, cold, wet, phlegm turbidity, blood stasis is also a rheumatoid arthritis disease and evil factor, here Chinese medicine talks about phlegm turbidity, blood stasis and we see in reality phlegm and blood stasis is different. They are a general term for a class of diseases and evils. The ancients said that "strange diseases are mostly caused by phlegm", that is to say, phlegm is only a lot of diseases, especially the cause of strange diseases that are difficult to explain. The same treatment can dissolve sputum circulation or activate blood stasis, and drug treatment for pain relief can be done.
We know that rheumatoid arthritis is long and easy to repeat. In the later stages of the disease, the empirical evidence often turns into false evidence, there is liver and kidney deficiency, joint swelling and stiff deformation, the formation of "sickness", or deficiency of qi and blood, joint soreness, fatigue and fatigue; or qi and yin deficiency, dry mouth and eyes. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine will carry out dialectical treatment separately.
In addition to drug treatment, TCM also has a variety of treatment options such as ointment external application, acupuncture, acupuncture, acupuncture point injection, wax therapy, moxibustion, fumigation, etc.
In recent years, the development of new drugs in the field of proprietary Chinese medicine, such as triptolide, white peony total glycosides, etc. can effectively improve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, but pregnant women or have fertility needs should be used with caution. In modern clinics, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine treatment schemes is more effective, and traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine treatment complement each other and play a good effect.
The above is about rheumatoid arthritis in the clinical treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine commonly used methods, but also the result of continuous development and progress of medical treatment, if you have joint pain needs treatment, or in the regular hospital for post-diagnosis treatment, do not believe in home remedies, delay the condition.
