At present, various new drugs for treating rheumatism are leading the way. Western medicine has a comprehensive approach in diagnosing rheumatism, while traditional Chinese medicine is also recognized by patients for its advantages in holistic view and guided by syndrome differentiation and treatment. For example, treating rheumatism from the perspective of the kidneys to treat its root causes, obstruction of meridians and collaterals is the hallmark of the disease, and promoting blood circulation and activating collaterals is also an important treatment method. 1. Treating different diseases with the same method, tonifying the kidneys, promoting blood circulation, and promoting rheumatism.

On this basis, the kidney tonifying and blood activating formula uses bone fragments and Achyranthes bidentata as ingredients to nourish the kidneys and promote blood circulation, providing "raw materials" for the body's righteous qi. Paeonia lactiflora can relieve pain in a slow and urgent manner, while Chuanxiong can promote qi circulation and blood circulation, providing "power" for the circulation of qi and blood in the body. Chicken Blood Vine nourishes blood and promotes blood circulation, while Chuanshan Dragon dispels rheumatism and promotes blood circulation and unblocks meridians. Both are used as adjuncts to guide medicine and meridian, and together they play a role in treating rheumatism. They are widely used in clinical practice. 2.
