Gout belongs to the category of “paralysis” in Chinese medicine and may be caused by heavy dampness.
Gout is often characterized by joint pain and limitation of movement, and according to the clinical symptoms, it may belong to the category of “paralysis” in traditional Chinese medicine.
Paralysis refers to a type of disease in which the meridians are paralyzed, blocked and painful, which may be caused by external evils such as wind, cold, dampness, heat, etc., as well as internal causes such as insufficiency of the liver and kidneys. Therefore, heavy dampness that stagnates in the joints and tendons can cause this disease, but it is not the only cause of the disease. Factors such as trauma and internal deficiency can lead to this disease.
If the patient has symptoms of unfavorable joints, he should go to the hospital in time to get a clear picture of the cause of his illness, and then under the guidance of the doctor, carry out the relevant treatment, and should not take medication without authorization.
