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.

Niu Xi goes to the knee as a guide, but you will need a base Rx to treat...

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.
