Our country has a vast territory. Throughout history, the southern region has always been a high-incidence area of ​​rheumatism. Therefore, Chinese medicine has a very long history and evidence for how to treat rheumatism. There are actually many symptoms of rheumatism. Because the symptoms are different, the treatment methods are also different. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes symptomatic treatment, and the treatment methods for each rheumatic patient are different. So how does traditional Chinese medicine distinguish rheumatism? What are the symptoms of rheumatism in traditional Chinese medicine?

Below is a detailed introduction to the different symptoms and treatments of rheumatism:

Symptom 1: If the patient has swelling and pain in muscles, tendons, bones and joints, but no local abnormalities in heat or cold, skin color, or systemic symptoms such as preference for warmth or fear of cold, it is mostly due to rheumatism.

Treatment principle: Mainly focus on dispersing wind and removing dampness.

Chinese patent medicine: Sanfeng Huoluo Pills, Shujin Huoxue Tablets, Huoluo Dan, Tianma Pills, Rheumatoid Arthritis Tablets, Kunming Mountain Begonia Tablets, Tripterygium Wolleng Tablets, Zhengqing Fengtongning, etc., and Zhuifeng Paste and Shangshi Zhitong Paste can be used externally.

Symptom 2: If the patient has swollen and painful muscles, tendons, bones and joints, is afraid of cold and heat, and prefers both warmth and coolness in the joints, it is mostly due to a mixture of cold and heat and blood stasis blocking the meridians.

If the patient is more Yang-deficient, he may have cold body and limbs.
