Gout belongs to the category of “paralysis” in Chinese medicine. Ginseng has the effect of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, clearing heat and promoting the production of body fluid. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, gout patients with deficiency of qi and yin can use American ginseng in general. American ginseng is the dried root of American ginseng, a plant of the family Wujiaceae. It has the effect of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, clearing heat and promoting the production of fluids, and can be used in the treatment of qi deficiency and yin deficiency, deficiency heat and tiredness, coughing, phlegm and blood, internal heat and thirst (internal heat accompanied by symptoms such as eating, drinking and urinating), and dryness of mouth and pharynx. It should be noted that the drug should not be used in conjunction with Veratrum. Patients with gout are advised to go to regular hospitals for consultation and treatment under the guidance of professional physicians to identify the symptoms.
