Rheumatic diseases are a group of diseases with a wide range, diverse pathogenic factors, different lesion sites and complex pathological properties. Clinically, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results with a single treatment method. To treat difficult rheumatic diseases, we should combine various treatments (or comprehensive treatment), i.e., grasp the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease as a whole, and organically link many different treatments to carry out comprehensive and integrated treatment. Mixed treatment is the basic treatment principle of rheumatic diseases. Suwen – different methods and prescriptions on “said:” the sage mixed to treat, each appropriate …… to get the disease, know the general body of treatment. Zhang Jinyue’s “Classical Classic – On Treatment” commentary says: “The treatment of the five prescriptions is mixed, and each is appropriate at its own discretion”. Generations of physicians have attached great importance to the treatment of rheumatism, and created a lot of simple, convenient, inexpensive and effective treatment methods. For example, Lou Yu Inscription’s “Chinese Rheumatology” contains hundreds of methods for treating rheumatic diseases. The basic principle of miscellaneous combination to treatment permeates all aspects of prevention, treatment and care of rheumatism. First, the diagnosis and treatment of Chinese medicine is one of the distinctive features of Chinese medicine, which combines diagnosis of disease and evidence. As early as the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing’s “Treatise on Typhoid Fever” and “The Essentials of the Golden Horoscope” fully embodied this academic feature and laid the foundation for the development of later generations of medicine. For example, “Defining and treating the pulse and evidence of sun diseases”, “Defining and treating the pulse and evidence of cholera diseases”, “Treating the pulse and evidence of spasmodic and damp diseases”, “Treating the pulse and evidence of malaria diseases “The first combination of disease identification and evidence identification in Chinese medicine was pioneered in the treating of paralysis. The treatment of paralysis is based on the identification of evidence, and the identification of evidence of paralysis should pay special attention to the identification of deficiency and heat and cold. The real is the victory of evil qi, and the nature of the evil qi should be distinguished, either as cold, cold, wet or wind. Deficiency is the deficiency of vital energy, so we have to distinguish whether it is deficiency of qi or blood, deficiency of spleen or kidney, etc. The identification of evidence is mainly based on the patient’s general condition, the characteristics of the limb and joint symptoms, the tongue and pulse signs. On the basis of clear identification, appropriate treatment methods are applied. Acupuncture and moxibustion therapy The oldest medical book in China, “The Fifty-two Diseases Formula”, contains records of acupuncture and moxibustion for treating diseases. Acupuncture therapy is also called acupuncture method. The acupuncture method is a combination of acupuncture and moxibustion method. The acupuncture tools developed from the earliest acupuncture stones to nine needles before the formal acupuncture method was introduced. Nine needles is the collective name for the nine needle forms in ancient times, from the Nei Jing. The “Ling Shu Jing – official needles” contains: “nine needles of the appropriate, each for the length and size, each have to be applied. …… disease paralysis qi outbreak, take the member of the sharp needle. If the paralysis is painful and does not go away, take the milli-needle. For those who are sick in the middle, take long needles. The person who has edema and cannot pass the joints, take the big needle.” Moxibustion, the ancient name of moxibustion, is made of moxa leaves made of moxa on the acupuncture points ignited after the use of its warmth stimulation, medicinal power to penetrate the acupuncture points, to treat disease methods. Cupping therapy Cupping method is called “corner method” in ancient times, now also known as “suction tube therapy”. This is a cup and jar as a tool, borrowing a method to generate negative pressure and make the cup and jar wash on the skin, causing local blood stasis, used in the treatment of disease method. Because this method is simple and easy to implement, and has reliable efficacy, has developed into an important therapy in acupuncture treatment. Fourth, tui na therapy tui na therapy is massage therapy, is the use of massage method to stimulate certain parts of the patient’s body surface or movement of the patient’s limbs to cure a therapy. Su Wen” said: “massage can make the tendons and joints relax, blood circulation. If you press the meridians and channels, you will be able to release the depressed Qi, and if you massage the congestion, you will be able to disperse the swelling of stasis.” Su Wen – Yin and Yang Ying Xiang Dazhuan: “Tiller is also, the climate is fast and sharp, pressed to astringent also.” Suwen – lifting pain theory said: “cold gas guest in the back between the Yu, then the pulse weeping, pulse weeping is blood deficiency, blood deficiency is pain …… pressed then heat to, heat to then the pain is stopped.” The role of massage, first of all, through the meridians, smooth qi and blood, and has the effect of eliminating blood stasis, stagnation, swelling, pain, and to promote local nutrition, prevent muscle atrophy and disuse, promote scar softening and repair the role of injury. Secondly, it can tonify the qi and blood, consolidate and restore the essence, and the circulation of qi and blood is the result of tonification. Five, compress therapy Compress therapy, also known as “external” therapy, is an external treatment method to treat diseases by directly applying drugs to specific parts of the human body. Qing – Wu Shiji that: where the service soup, pill can be cured of the disease, but also five can not be changed to use the “dressing” and effect; regardless of internal treatment, external treatment, where the pathology can be unified, the use of drugs can also be unified. The items used for compressing are solids and semi-solids made of drugs according to different methods, which are divided into ointments and plasters according to their nature and method of manufacture. Compressing therapy can not only treat the lesion of the compressed part, but also use the knowledge of meridians and acupoints to select acupuncture points to compress, treat other parts of the lesion and systemic diseases. External application therapy is generally synonymous with application and rubbing. It is a kind of external treatment method to treat diseases by making liquid or semi-liquid medicine and applying it directly to the affected area or by rubbing it together at the same time. Su Wen – blood and gas shape Zhi said: “meridians do not work, the disease is born in the unkind, treatment with massage mash medicine.” Externally applied drugs have the effect of dispelling rheumatism, analgesia, anti-inflammatory, etc., when used by rubbing, not only can play a massage effect, but also can enhance the permeability of drugs. Seven, fumigation therapy fumigation therapy, is the use of drug decoction, take advantage of the heat in the skin or the affected area for fumigation, drenching treatment methods. It is with the help of medicine and heat, through the skin, mucous membrane action on the body, to promote the coup de-coupling, the veins and blood flow, so as to achieve the purpose of prevention and treatment of disease. Zhao Xuemin, a master folk therapist in the Qing Dynasty, established a special door for fumigation and washing in the “String Ya Waichuan”, introducing in detail fumigation and washing therapies. Wu Shangxian of the Qing Dynasty also proposed that fumigation, ironing and compressing can be accepted even by weak patients and will not cause the scourge of deficiency. Modern medical experiments have confirmed that the moist heat during fumigation can accelerate the absorption of drugs in the skin, while the increase in skin temperature can lead to the expansion of the tiny blood vessels in the skin, promoting the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid, and is therefore conducive to the dissipation of hematoma and edema. Eight, hot ironing therapy Hot ironing therapy is a method of treatment with some herbs or other heat-transferring objects, heated and wrapped in cloth, placed on a certain part of the body, doing back and forth or rotating movement. As early as in primitive society, there are records of ironing for joint and skin pains with burning stones. Ironing method by making specific parts of the skin heated or with the force of medicine to force the drug gas into the body, to relax the tendons, blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, dispel cold and evil, and ease the pain and other effects. Nine, hot compress therapy Hot compress therapy is a heating substance placed on the diseased part of the body, or a specific location on the body (such as acupuncture points), so that the local capillary dilation, blood circulation accelerated, local muscle relaxation, to play a role in anti-inflammatory, swelling, cold and damp, reduce pain, eliminate fatigue and other treatment methods. Ten, hot wax therapy Hot wax therapy is a method of treating diseases by using liquid or semi-solid yellow wax, paraffin wax or ground wax, which is applied to the local area or hot compresses, referred to as “wax therapy”, which is a kind of warm therapy. After the wax is heated and melted, it is applied to the local area to make the tiny blood vessels in the skin dilate, promote the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid, increase the secretion of sweat glands, and facilitate the dissipation of hematoma and edema. Due to the effect of warmth, it also enhances the phagocytic ability of mononuclear-phagocyte system and promotes cell permeability and metabolism of the organism. Therefore, it is good for various chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, bursitis and tenosynovitis. Wax contains oil, which has the effect of lubricating and softening agent to restore elasticity to the skin and hoof tissue, so it has the effect of improving the function of motor organs for joint ankylosis, scar contracture, postoperative adhesions and joint movement dysfunction, etc. Eleven, acupuncture point injection therapy Acupuncture point injection therapy is a therapy to prevent and treat diseases by injecting certain medicinal solutions or gases into the acupuncture points of the human body through the meridians, acupuncture points, injections and other effects. This therapy has the following advantages: it has the combined effect of acupuncture, injection stimulation of acupuncture points and pharmacological effects; it reduces the time of needle retention, and generally patients can move freely after acupuncture injection; after acupuncture injection, it takes some time for the body to absorb, and it can maintain the stimulation in acupuncture points for a longer time; because it is acupuncture injection, the drug dosage is generally lower than conventional, so it can reduce the side effects of certain drugs.
