Chinese medicine has a long history of gout treatment, and there are many ways to treat gout, and many kinds of Chinese medicines can be used for gout treatment, but the specific operation needs to be carried out under the guidance of physicians. Chinese medicine is based on the general principle of “treating the symptoms in an emergency, and treating the root cause in a slow manner”, and in the treatment of gout, it is necessary to take into account the differences in the patients’ conditions to carry out evidence-based treatment. Each prescription is a combination of herbs based on a comprehensive analysis of the patient’s condition and physique, so the treatment is a combination of all drugs rather than a single drug. Of course, there are also relevant studies showing that single herbal medicines have the effect of lowering uric acid, such as tiger scepter, tufu ling and dioscorea, etc. This research has some clinical significance and can be referred to when selecting prescriptions, but it is not advocated that patients choose their own herbal medicines for treatment. 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 treatment method.
