Gout is a disease closely related to modern economic development and dietary structure. With the improvement of living conditions and westernization of dietary habits, the incidence of gout is increasing year by year, and the age of onset is getting younger and younger. Many people do not take gout seriously, thinking that gout does not matter as long as it does not develop, and that it is not too late to eat and drink as usual and then take painkillers once it develops. Some people are afraid to use drugs because they are worried about the side effects, but it is important to know that even if the gout does not attack, the potential metabolic abnormalities can make you have increased blood lipids, diabetes and even uric acid crystals can lead to kidney insufficiency. Don’t stress, Chinese herbal medicine can help. Most gout sufferers are fat in shape, and the Inner Classic says, “The change of sorghum, the foot gives birth to a large ding.” It turns out that thousands of years ago, our ancestors have recognized that the regular consumption of fatty and greasy products can lead to pain in the joints of the foot, and even joint enlargement, ulceration and pus, etc.. In Chinese medicine, there is also the name of “gout”, such as Yuan? Zhu Danxi “Ge Zhi Yu Lun” has listed a special section on gout, cloud: “Gout, the majority of the blood has been boiling since the heat, after or wading in the water or standing wetlands …… cold outside the fight, hot blood to get cold, sweat turbid condensation, so make pain, night is pain is very, line in Yang also.” After years of accumulation, we have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of gout: gout is different from general paralysis, which is caused by the weakness of the vital energy feeling wind, cold and dampness, paralyzing the meridians and blocking them, and causing pain when they do not pass; whereas gout is closely related to diet, and gout patients will have attacks if they do not pay attention to their diet, so it is believed that spleen deficiency is the root of the disease, and spleen deficiency is unable to exercise, so water, dampness and phlegm flow into the joints, which will cause attacks by heat. Therefore, the treatment should be based on strengthening the spleen, clearing heat and dampness to detoxify the joints and strengthening the spleen during the acute period, and strengthening the spleen and resolving dampness during the remission period. Some patients think they have got rid of the burden of gout when it is not onset, because when gout is not onset, it can be completely symptom-free, and they no longer insist on taking drugs, or even do not control their diet. This is very harmful, as some diseases such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular accidents, myocardial infarction, heart failure, fatal heart rhythm disorders and diabetes are occurring unknowingly, while insisting on taking Chinese medicine with diet control can greatly reduce both the number of gout attacks and the degree of gout when it strikes again, with few side effects. In addition, certain drugs can affect the excretion of uric acid: such as penicillin, tetracycline, high-dose thiazides and diuretics such as aminoglutethimide, insulin and small doses of aspirin (less than 2g per day), etc., should be used sparingly or not at all. For obese people to actively lose weight, reduce weight. Usually pay attention to the combination of work and rest, avoid overwork, mental tension, infection, surgery, generally do not advocate gout patients to participate in running and other strong physical exercise, or long-distance walking tours. If you can adhere to the Chinese medicine and diet control, the progress of gout will be much slower, and not only the number of gout attacks will be reduced, but also the pain during gout attacks will be much less. Therefore, gout can be prevented and treated.
