Rheumatoid arthritis can cause great harm to people. When this disease occurs, the patient's joints will become deformed and swollen. When an attack occurs, the patient will suffer great pain. Therefore, how to treat such a disease has become the wish of many people. Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture plays a very important role in treating such diseases. So what is acupuncture treatment for rheumatoid arthritis like?

Experts say that fire needle therapy is the best method of acupuncture treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. The so-called fire acupuncture is to use the power of "fire" to stimulate acupoints or local areas, which has the effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, removing wind and dampness, promoting blood circulation and unblocking collaterals, strengthening the body and eliminating evil, as well as using heat to induce heat, promoting qi and dispersing toxins.

Fire needles use the power of fire to force open the external gates and draw the heat evil out of the body. Fire needles are not only effective for arthralgia and cold syndrome caused by wind, cold and dampness, but are also effective for heat syndrome. Heat syndrome is caused by local stagnation of blood and qi, which leads to the accumulation of fire and the generation of poison, and often presents with various manifestations such as redness, swelling, heat and pain. Use fire needles to force open the door with the power of fire, inducing the fire, heat and toxic evil to be discharged directly, thereby clearing away heat and toxins. At the same time, it can dilate blood vessels, accelerate blood flow, and unclog the pores.

Open the door and expel the evil, that is, open the outer door of the meridians and blood vessels by burning the acupoints and ligaments of the human body, giving the external evil a way out. As arthralgia persists for a long time, some pathogenic pathological products such as blood stasis and dampness will inevitably be produced in the body. Once formed, they will stagnate in local meridians and joints. Fire needle treatment can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Fire needle therapy uses heated needles to introduce heat directly into the human body through acupoints, thereby directly stimulating the meridian qi, encouraging blood circulation, and warming and strengthening the yang energy of the internal organs. Fire needles use the power of fire and also have the function of moxibustion to warm and unclog the meridians, allowing Qi and blood to flow smoothly. The principle is that "if Qi and blood flow smoothly, there will be no pain."
