Rheumatoid arthritis can be treated with moxibustion, which can warm the meridians and invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Rheumatoid arthritis is usually accompanied by wind, cold, damp, heat and other paralysis of the joints, and can be diagnosed as rheumatoid paralysis, cold-damp paralysis, Yang deficiency type, blood stasis paralysis and other symptoms. The cold-damp type generally has symptoms such as pain aggravated by cold and fear of cold; the blood stasis type generally has pain fixed in the painful area like pins and needles; the yang deficiency type generally has symptoms such as fear of cold in the joints.
