The three main methods of TCM treatment for SLE are oral Chinese medicine tonics, oral Chinese medicine, and acupuncture treatment. Oral herbal tonics are based on the identification and treatment of the symptoms, with the principle of tonifying the liver and kidneys. In the acute stage, the method of clearing heat, detoxifying and cooling the blood is mostly used, while in the chronic stage, the method of nourishing yin and nourishing blood and activating blood circulation is mostly used. Drugs commonly used in the acute stage include raw earth, maitong, xuan ginseng, Zhi mu, Chuan niu knee, and tiger ball. In the chronic stage, the commonly used drugs are Shu Di, Zhen Zhen Zi, Shan Yu Flesh, Bai Zhu, Bai Shao, Chicken Blood Vine, Angelica, etc. Oral Chinese patent medicines can also treat SLE. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Kun Xian capsule, Leigongteng polysaccharide tablet, Zhengqing Fengxianning, etc. Modern research has confirmed that the above medicines have the effect of regulating abnormal immunity and reducing immune inflammation, which can control the progress of SLE. In addition, for patients with SLE whose main manifestation is joint swelling and pain, acupuncture therapy can also be adopted, such as acupuncture therapy targeting local pain points of diseased joints to promote local circulation of qi and blood, which can alleviate the development of the disease. No matter what kind of TCM treatment method, it should be carried out under the guidance of TCM practitioners based on the principle of evidence-based treatment and according to the characteristics of the patient’s condition.
