Rheumatism is a general term for a large group of diseases that involve bones, joints and their surrounding tissues, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves, with pain as the main clinical manifestation. It is a common disease that endangers human health. Because it is related to autoimmunity, most of the diseases are difficult to be cured, and some patients need to take medication for life. From the perspective of Western medicine, rheumatic diseases include hundreds of diseases, such as rheumatic fever, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and so on. The clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis of each disease vary greatly. Chinese medicine has excellent results in treating rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment should first aim to eliminate joint pain so that the progression of the disease can be manipulated and the disability caused by rheumatoid arthritis can be inhibited. The most important feature of TCM treatment is to identify and treat the evidence, and according to different types of evidence, treatment methods such as dispelling wind and dampness, warming the meridians and dispersing cold, warming cold and dispelling dampness, clearing heat and cooling blood, invigorating the blood and opening the ligaments, tonifying the kidneys and strengthening the bones are used. Prepared Chinese medicines: wound-damp pain relief cream (for external use), Dahuoluoluo Pill, Tianma Pill, etc. Food therapy formula: red bean porridge, jujube and barley porridge, peach kernel porridge, etc. Acupuncture: ear acupuncture or point acupuncture, taking specific points for treatment. Tui Na: the technique should be soft, even and strong, thus achieving deep penetration. Fumigation: mugwort, turbinarium, safflower, pepper, water decoction. Smoke the joint while it is hot, and then wash it. External application method: fresh asters or cactus, pounded into mud and applied to the affected area. Hot ironing method: Salt and cumin are fried and heated, and applied to the affected area. Infrared irradiation: irradiate the swollen area to activate blood circulation. Western medicine treatment of this disease is mainly to clarify the specific disease situation first, according to different diseases to give the appropriate treatment. The treatment means and drugs vary from disease to disease. No generalization can be made. To sum up, the treatment of rheumatism is carried out from both Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but patients need to be treated under the guidance of doctors in regular hospitals, and do not remember to blindly seek medical help on their own, so as not to delay the disease.
