Guest guest Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hi just wondering if anyone knew of herbs that treat Knee Pain or go to the knee? Not just herbs that direct to lower body. I'm thinking along the lines of Jiang Huang for the shoulder. Patient feels cold weather makes knee worse, no visible swelling so I'll probably use needle moxa. Any ideas are appreciated.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 In the Shen nong ben cao jing, *Niu xi * " hypertonicity of the limbs, and pain in the knees with inability to bend or stretch. " *Gou ji * " treats rigidity of the upper and lower back, slack and tense joints, generalized impediment, and cold damp knee pain " Tian xiong (autumn harvested *Wu tou* or Wu tou that is three inches or longer) : " treats wind-cold-damp impediment, joint-running pain, hypertonicity, and slackness and tension.... fortifies the sinews and bones, and makes the body light and the walk strong. " *Wu jia pi* " heals limpness, enabling the (limp) child to walk instantly. " These are the only two that I know of from the SNBCJ with those specific knee indications. Others that are beneficial to the joints include.. Xi xin, Bi xie, Mu tong, Bai xian pi Food remedy: Ox tail / bone stew helps with ligaments and bones... delicious and nutritious.
