Chinese medicine has a certain role in the treatment of gout, such as relieving joint symptoms, slowing down the progress of the disease, and reducing adverse drug reactions. Chinese medicine has a long history of treatment of gout, and there are many methods, based on the general principle of “treating the symptoms when it is urgent, and treating the root cause when it is slow”, and combining the differences in patients’ conditions with the method of combining internal and external treatment. The internal treatment method is mainly based on oral Chinese medicine, in which the doctor treats the patient according to the clinical manifestations, the individual’s constitution, and the tongue and pulse, and prescribes a prescription for the overall regulation of the internal organs. The external treatment method is mainly through acupuncture, herbal infusion, wet compress and ointment, etc., so that the direct action on the lesion can relieve the symptoms of joint swelling and pain. Chinese medicine has certain advantages in the treatment of gout, but in the specific application of the patient’s condition and personal constitution, targeted selection is required. For example, for patients in the acute stage of gout, they need to quickly relieve joint symptoms, but the effect of simple Chinese medicine treatment is generally slow, so the combination of Chinese and Western medicine can be the main, oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, and at the same time with the external treatment method of Chinese medicine, not only can quickly reduce joint symptoms, but also reduce the dose and cycle of Western medicine, and reduce adverse reactions. Therefore, Chinese medicine has certain advantages in the treatment of gout, and can be used as an adjunct to formal treatment, but the treatment is more individualized and needs to be carried out under the guidance of a specialist, and there is no particular set-in-stone treatment method.
