Chinese medicine theory believes that gout belongs to the category of “wind paralysis”, “pain paralysis”, “calendar section”, etc. This disease is due to the deficiency of positive qi, or dietary indiscretion, dysfunction of the spleen and kidney, fluid transportation disorder, excretion is unfavorable and internal phlegm and dampness is generated, and the dampness and turbidity become heat over a long period of time. The disease is due to deficiency of vital energy, or dietary irregularities, dysfunction of the spleen and kidney, abnormal fluid transportation and excretion, and internal phlegm and dampness, and the dampness and turbidity become heat over time, and the heat and toxin flow into the joints, resulting in paralysis of the tendons and bones and the development of this syndrome. The main clinical symptom is acute and severe pain, accompanied by fever, redness and swelling.
The mechanism of this disease is stagnation of qi and blood, unobstructed meridians, and internalization of rheumatism and heat toxin, and the principle of treatment is to remove stasis and toxin and dredge the veins and collaterals. The treatment can be carried out in the affected area by stabbing and cupping operation. After the treatment, it can significantly relieve the patient’s pain and improve the redness, swelling and mobility of the joints.
Bloodletting therapy can improve patients’ joint diseases by removing blood stasis and toxins, opening up and draining heat, and dredging the meridians. Cupping is commonly used by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to remove internal fire, and cupping is used after stabbing the collaterals to adsorb the blood stasis and remove the evil qi. The combination of stabbing the collaterals and cupping can improve the internal fire of the patient’s body, dredge the meridians, and remove the evil qi and relieve the surface.
However, it is important to note that cupping needs to be operated by a professional doctor, not self-treatment, if necessary, please consult a doctor in time.
