Rheumatoid arthritis can be treated with moxibustion. Rheumatoid arthritis is a joint inflammation caused by wind, cold and dampness invading the small joints of the body, causing symmetrical swelling and pain in the small joints of the body, mainly stiffness and pain in the morning, and generally identified by Chinese medicine as cold and dampness paralysis, wind and cold invasion, and liver and kidney deficiency. All three types of arthritis can be treated with moxibustion. Local moxibustion can warm the meridians and open the veins, invigorate the blood and remove blood stasis, which can have a good effect on cold-damp, Yang-deficiency and blood-stasis rheumatoid arthritis.
