”Gout” is an arthritic and chronic gout stone disease caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood. When uric acid is deposited in large amounts on the ligaments of the joints, it irritates the soft tissues of the joints causing edema and inflammatory manifestations. This results in symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain. Blood pricking Treatment: For gout in the joints of the lower extremities, you can use the Dadun, Foot Trigger Yin, Zhi Yin, Yin Bai, and Li Tui points. Before needling, push the hand up and down on the acupuncture points so that the stagnant blood accumulates in one place, stab 0.1~0.2cm into the acupuncture point with a trigeminal needle, and squeeze out 3~5 drops of blood. Choose 2 acupuncture points for each treatment, which can be used alternately. The ayurvedic point must be pricked, and the ayurvedic point must be different for each treatment. The painful point of gout has the characteristic of wandering. Three times a week in the acute phase and twice a week in the remission phase, with 2 weeks as a course of treatment. Depending on the situation, you can use the A-Yi point directly! Sometimes the pressure at the lesion site is too high and the needling can cause blood stasis spurting! In the swollen and painful parts of gout patients, the pain can be relieved immediately after pricking the blood as the upward force is released, while the local blood circulation is improved after the stagnant blood is released, which can have a therapeutic effect on gout!
