Our Plum Flower Brand Joint Inflammation Teapills or Guan Jie Yan Wan are effective when the pattern of Wind Damp Bi pain (painful obstruction syndrome) with dampness transforming into heat is predominate. With the accumulation of the pattern of underlying damp heat you may present with acute or chronic swollen joints, aching or burning joint pain with stiffness. Effected areas may include the shoulder, elbow, wrist, low back, knees and ankles since dampness and disease has an affinity to accumulate in the crevasses of your body. Symptoms may be accompanied by redness and heat at the joints, difficult or painful urination with scanty, dark urine.
Joint Inflammation Teapills work by expelling wind-damp, draining damp-heat, unblocking the Luo channels and joints, and thereby alleviating pain. This is a complicated and enduring pattern to work on. A bland diet, avoidance of spicy or greasy foods, alcohol and sugar may help tremendously with internal changes. Consistency on this formula to clear the damp and heat, and then proper foundational formulas may prove very useful for a long term recovery. A consultation with one of our herbalist can be helpful after relief has begun to create a long term program.
