The traditional Chinese medicine is one of the most remarkable therapies in
the world for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Many patients are looking
for other therapies for RA rather than occidental medicine. I think traditional
Chinese medicine will be the best choice.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects many organs
and system of human body. The treatment of occidental medicine is to use NAISDs
(Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drug), immunosuppressor and hormone products. But
the long-term uses of these occidental medicines will cause some unavoidable
serious side effects. Therefore many patients want other therapies for RA rather
than occidental medicine.
The traditional Chinese medicine treatment for RA, among other therapies for
RA rather than occidental medicine, takes the best effect. It has many exclusive
advantages and great potentials.
I. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation and overall regulation.
It’s the most remarkable feature of TCM. The priority of treatment for the
patient with RA is to differentiate the nature and cause reflected by symptoms.
Is it wind evil, cold evil, warm evil or damp evil? For human body, is it
deficiency of qi, blood, yin, yang or liver and kidney? Only understanding
these, doctors can make an overall judge and comprehensive treatment plan.
II. Rapidly relieve symptoms and effectively prevent the progression
When some patients in the early stage only have the mild symptoms of RA, such
as joint pain, lumbago, which don’t fit to the standard of RA in occidental
medicine, TCM can reduce the pain and inflammation greatly. Research shows that
although TCM has a bit less strong effect as occidental medicines, it’s good for
long-term use due to no side effect.
III. Supplement the disadvantage of occidental medicine and reduce the side
effects
Based on TCM theory, the combination treatment of TCM and occidental medicine
applies occidental medicines and supplement the shortages. For example, when
combination using with NAISDs (Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drug), traditional
Chinese medicines can not only strengthen the pain-relief effect of the NAISDs,
they can also prolong the effect and prevent the progression which the NAISDs
can’t do alone.
Through the above article, I believe you have got some ideas about
traditional Chinese medicine. If you are also looking for other therapies for RA
rather than occidental medicine, my suggestion is that you try some traditional
Chinese medicine. It will be good for your recovery.
