Professor CAO Yi's experience in treating rheumatoid arthritis by acupuncture and moxibustion combined with warming-meridian bath bag fumigation
This paper presents the clinical experience of professor CAO Yi,a renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner,in treating rheumatoid arthritis using a combination of acupuncture,moxibustion and fumiga-tion with warming-meridian bath bag.It is believed that the fundamental pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis involves deficiency of positive qi,visceral disorder,Yin-Yang imbalance,phlegm-blood stasis intermingling,and deficiency-excess intermixing.Acupuncture treatment primarily focuses on reinforcing deficiencies,harmonizing Yin and Yang,eliminating phlegm and blood stasis,as well as clearing collaterals and relieving pain.When combined with moxibus-tion on Dumai and fumigation with warming-meridian bath bag application,significant clinical effects are observed.A representative medical record is attached for verification.
