There is no specific herbal medicine for bursitis, but common medicines that can treat the disease include saffron, chuanxiong, fenghui, qiangwu, etc. The specific medication needs to be determined according to the type of symptoms. There is no name for bursitis in Chinese medicine, but according to the specific symptoms of the disease, it is generally categorized under the category of “paralysis”. Paralysis is generally considered to include wind-cold-dampness paralysis (wind, cold, dampness three evils invade the human body resulting in paralysis of the limbs), wind-dampness-heat paralysis (often manifested as burning, pain, redness and swelling of the joints and muscles), blood stasis and blockage, etc. Different causes of the disease, the choice of medication should be based on the type of bursitis. The drugs chosen for different causes are different. For example, for those who are mainly suffering from wind-cold-dampness paralysis with localized skin or cold sensation, severe pain in the presence of cold, reduced pain in the presence of heat, light mouth without thirst, and malignant wind-cold, they can use the drugs that dispel wind-cold (dispelling wind and cold) and remove dampness, such as Qiangwu, Fenghuang, Fenghi, and Coix Seed. As for those who are mainly suffering from wind-dampness-heat paralysis with fever, malignant wind, sweating, thirst, boredom and restlessness, yellow urine and dry stools, they can be treated with medicines to dispel wind and dampness (to get rid of wind and dampness in the body) and clear heat, such as Gypsum, Zhi Mou, Gui Zhi, and Duo Wu. For those who suffer from stagnation of blood and blood stasis, such as sallow complexion, rough and dry skin (like the interlocking scaly nails of a dried fish), swollen eyelids, dark purple tongue or petechiae, etc., medicines for activating blood circulation, such as safflower, peach kernel, Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong, and Yanhuisuo, etc., are recommended. Specific medication is recommended under the guidance of a professional physician.
