Chinese medicine has been relieving arthritis for 2,000 years by balancing the body and allowing its healing powers to take over. This guide provides a basic introduction to how Chinese medicine aids in the diagnosis and treatment of arthritis, including Chinese self-care and home remedies, such as self- massage, magnet therapy, and Chinese patent medicines.

Looking for information and inspiration to help heal your rheumatoid, psoriatic or other autoimmune arthritis? Then this book is for you. I wrote this book to demonstrate that with the right tools and perseverance, healing can be achieved. Not only do I write about the basics of Chinese medicine and how it helped me, and how it can help you, but I also discuss the numerous other herbs, supplements, tonic herbs, adaptogenic herbs and other healing modalities that I used, many of which you can implement on your own, to help put my psoriatic arthritis into remission for over ten years now. I intertwined this information with the details of my own struggle and the obstacles that I faced, as it helped me so much in reading other's struggles who had healed their own illness. Information and inspiration. If I can heal, so can you!

This 26th volume of the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine series provides a multi-faceted 'whole evidence' analysis of the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using integrative Chinese medicine. Beginning with an overview of how RA is conceptualised and managed in conventional medicine (Chapter 1), the authors summarise the syndrome differentiation and management of RA in contemporary Chinese medicine (Chapter 2), based on clinical guidelines and contemporary books. Chapter 3 provides detailed analyses of how RA and related conditions were treated with herbal medicine and acupuncture in past eras based on the classical Chinese medical literature. The subsequent chapters comprehensively review the current state of the clinical evidence for the integrative application of Chinese herbal medicines (Chapter 5), acupuncture therapies (Chapter 7), other Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter 8) and combination Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter 9), as well as analyse and evaluate the results of these clinical studies from an evidence-based medicine perspective. Chapter 6 reviews and summarises experimental evidence for the bioactivity of commonly used Chinese herbs and their constituent compounds. The outcomes of these analyses are summarised and discussed in Chapter 10. Implications for clinical practice and future research are identified. This book informs clinicians and students in the fields of integrative medicine and Chinese medicine regarding contemporary practice and the current evidence base for Chinese medicine therapies for managing RA. It enables clinicians in making evidence-based decisions in patient care. It also provides researchers with a comprehensive survey of the state of the field that can inform future directions for clinical and experimental studies.
